On behalf of the Brian Boru Club - EST 1889 committe can we offer a massively HUGE congratulations to Ashton Ccé on their participation in the Northern Regional Fleadh.

We are SO immensely proud to have this amazing group of talented musicians, singers and dancers be part of the club since 1972, looking at the results today it is surly in safe hands and long may it continue

NORTHERN REGION FLEADH 2024

The temperature and the nerves were high all day, but despite that we managed to compete in the largest number of competitions that Ashton CCÉ has done for several years.

And we SMASHED it

1st place 12-15 banjo

1st place under 12 Grupa Ceol

1st place senior bodhran

2nd place under 12 button box

2nd place under 12 duet

2nd place senior banjo

Which means the whole class are through to the All Britain finals at the end of June.

Along with that we gave a fine demonstration of our Irish language skills with the entire hall joining in with "if you're happy and you know it" as gaeilge.

I can safely say that me and Ray are immensely proud of all of them, not only for their playing, but brilliant attitudes and behaviour. A big thank you to all the parents, grandparents, carers, aunts, uncles and next doors cats for supporting today. Remember the hard work starts here.....

Go raibh maith agaibh
