Over 600 Irish traditional musicians and singers gathered in Scotstown on Saturday last to compete in the 2010 Monaghan Fleadh Cheoil.
The first ever Fleadh Cheoil was held in Monaghan in 1952 and the event has continued unbroken for the last 58 years. It now ranks as Monaghan’s most actively participated in and longest running cultural event. Blessed with glorious weather this year’s Fleadh was an outstanding success.
The four day traditional music festival began on Thursday, 3 June with a bilingual table quiz in St. Mary’s Hall, Scotstown and this was followed on Friday evening in the same venue with a very interesting lecture by Scotstown historian Mackie Rooney on local musician Francie McKenna who died in 1975. Francie McKenna used a unique system of music notation to write down tunes and the large lecture attendance was entertained with examples of tunes collected by Francie McKenna using his notation system. It was especially fitting that both Francie’s son and grand-daughter were among the musicians playing on the night.
The all important music competitions then got under way on Saturday in the excellent facilities of Urbleshanny National School, Scotstown. Performances were of a very high standard in all competitions which ranged in age from the under nines all the way up to adults. Beginning at 10am and not finishing until around 8pm, listeners were treated to a great variety of music and song. The following are the results of the competitions:
