Good first night of Moville's TradFest

TradFest

It was a quietish start to the TradFest last night in Rosatos and Rawdons with perhaps more people at Rawdons to see Cecilia Keaveney team up with Paddy McLaughlin for a seisun.

It was busier than Friday nights recently in Rosatos but not a full crowd by any means.

I think, at this time of the year, and in the current economic climate, most people aren't likely to turn out for both nights of a festival.

Also, the GAA's big weekend last weekend of Stricly Come Dancing may have drained pockets a bit.

Enjoyable

In saying that, it was a very enjoyable night.

Cecilia was enjoying the seisun so mcuh up at Rawdons that it wasn't till on that she made it down to Rosatos.

There she joined a threesome which included Ciaran Carlin form the Creggan where Cecilia used to teach - although it was an all-girls school where she taught - St. Mary's.

Champion

Ciaran is the All-Ireland champion on the flute and it was noticeable that they played around him.

Also playing was Seamus Cradden who is a member of the Jordanstown Traditional Music Society where Cecilia did her Masters in Music.

A big night is expected tonight, the Saturday night of the TradFest.
