Ashbourne Ceili Club

A busload of us went to a céilí in Latton recently. Latton is a small hamlet in Co. Monaghan but what wonderful facilities the Céilí Club have there in the local GAA complex. It was the Club’s 25th anniversary so we had a night not just of great dancing but lots of celebrations and memories. Music on the night was by the Cere Moyle Céilí Band. They are wonderful, lively band to dance to. While we stood for our national anthem, I surveyed them. They are 6 in number and my guess is that 5 of them are under 30 years of age. It’s just great to see such a youthful group carrying our cultural traditions with such enthusiasm and obvious love of the music.
I’m taking a break from my PRO duties for a while but have no doubt my replacement is more than capable of taking up the baton if he is half as skilled in the art of writing as he is in the art of storytelling.
Would you like to BE A PART OF IT? Join us any Tuesday night in Gaelscoil na Cille (Irish School behind Community Centre) at 8.30 to 10pm.
