“Here is a video my friend put together from a sean-nós dancing flashmob that we organised in Galway to launch the annual Oireachtas festival that will take place in Killarney from the 29th October – 3rd November. The festival celebrates the best of Irish music, sean-nós singing, dancing and storytelling and one of the highlights is the ‘Steip’ sean-nós dancing competition which will be broadcast live on TG4 on Saturday 2nd November at 2pm.”
“The Oireachtas is one of Ireland’s longest running festivals having been established in 1897 and will attract crowds of up to 10,000 to the Kerry town over the six days. Other highlights include the Corn Uí Riada sean-nós singing competition which is held in memory of Sean Ó Riada, the Cabaret Craiceáilte which will feature music from Kíla, Bréag and Mo Hat Mo Gheansaí and the nightly Club na Féile which will gather hundreds to the dance floor for the night/morning.”
