"Wisdom comes with Age" as the proverb tells us and good music and song is all the more sweeter when it comes from seasoned performers.
South West Donegal can lay claim to as rich a heritage of traditional music, song and dance as anywhere else in Ireland and "The Glen Road" celebrates this inheritance with a presentation that spans generations and focuses on the music and song of some of the parish of Glencolmcille's most venerable musicans in particular Kitty Sean Cunningham (song and dance), Eddie Gara (melodeon), Con Mc Ginley (fiddle), and Bridgid Gara (melodeon).
Each of these musicians are recognized as having unique, individual repertoires from their localities in Gleann Colm Cille. While Con and Eddie live in England, they travel home to Donegal regularly and each of them are regularly approached by musicians and organisations who are interested in their repertoire.
Con Mc Ginley has always had a connection with fiddle player James Byrne as they are from the same townland, Meenacross. He is a special character in that he possesses a great store of old tunes from his locality, music associated with people such as Peter Highne and John Phadaí Chonchbhar.
Eddie Gara has passed on lovely tunes to the current generation of players on his recent trips to Donegal, especially waltzes associated with John Mhosie McGinley, reputed to be one of the finest exponents of Donegal fiddle playing from the 19th century.
Kitty Sean has well-earned her reputation as a great lilter, singer, dancer and entertainer. She has a great head for tunes as well as songs and passes these onto younger musicians who visit her regularly. She also remembers a large store of highlands and barndances, one of which, "Kitty 'Sean's' barndance" she is strongly associated, and eagerly continues to dance highlands, waltzes and barndances with her daughter Ann.
Bridget Gara was encouraged to return to playing the melodeon in recent years and now regularly performs in the Gleann Colm Cille area. Growing up in the parish of Ardara she was influenced by the playing of Mary Boyle (nee Gara), Owenteskna who was married to her uncle, James Hudaí.
As each of these musicians are in the latter years of their lives - ranging in age from 82 to 92 years old - we feel now is the right time to pay tribute to them by bringing them on a tour of Donegal between May 15th – 17th, where they will perform their tunes, songs and dances and be given an opportunity to talk about their unique and individual repertoires and where it came from.
Joining them on this tour is fellow fiddle player James Byrne who is the leading exponent of the fiddle style associated with the area of Glencolmcille. His style of playing, tone and command of the instrument is exceptional earning him the reputation of being one of the finest traditional fiddle players in Ireland. Also on the tour will be fiddle players Ronan Galvin and Mick Brown who have been hugely influenced by the playing of Con Mc Ginley, and Kitty's daughter Ann Cunningham (dance) thereby making it this a truly inter-generational project and a fine example of how the music is transmitted from one generation to the next.
The Glen Road is supported by the Arts Council's DEIS scheme and presented in association with Tionscnamh Lugh as part of the National Bealtaine Festival celebrating creativity in older people.

CONCOS (Comhchoiste na gColáistí Samhraidh) is a federation of over 42 Irish Summer Colleges both inside and outside the main Gaeltachtaí, as well as Residential Colleges in all four provinces. These Colleges have been approved by the Department of Education and Science and the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. The Colleges must also adhere to the Constitution and Code of Practice of CONCOS.
Everybody involved in CONCOS Irish Colleges is enthusiastic and experienced. College staff are committed to the promotion of the Irish Language, with due regard to evolving teaching methods and the development of young people. CONCOS is in constant contact with the Department of Health and Children to ensure pupils are properly cared for with due regard to health, safety and supervision while in attendance.
Unlike a normal primary or secondary school, when your child goes to an Irish College the Coláiste is truly in loco parentis until he/she returns home.
While CONCOS is a non-statutory body, we make every effort to ensure our high standards are maintained throughout. While every effort is made to ensure that all information is accurate on this site, the individual College is the final arbiter for booking, information and registration of complaints should one arise. In the first instance, therefore, contact should be made through the Coláiste selected.

Cónaidhm is ea CONCOS (Comhchoiste na gColáistí Samhraidh) de os cionn 42 Coláiste Samhraidh, taobh istigh and taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht, chomh maith le Coláistí Cónaithe sa cheithre Chúige. Ta na Coláistí ar fad formheasta ag an Roinn Oideachais agus Eolaíochta agus an Roinn Gnóthaí Pobail, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta. Ina theannta sin, tá dualgas ar na gColáistí uile cloí le Bunreacht agus Cód Iompar CONCOS.
Tá taithí den scoth ag foireann dhíograiseach Coláistí Samhraidh CONCOS. Tá siad ar fad tiomanta ó thaobh cur chun cinn na teanga agus súil géar acu i gcónaí ar mhodhanna múinte nua aimseartha agus forbairt dhaoine óga. Bíonn teagmháil rialta idir CONCOS agus an Roinn Sláinte agus Leanaí chun sláinte, sábháilteacht agus feitheoireacht den scoth a chinntiú agus an dalta ag freastal ar Choláiste Samhraidh.
Ní hionann na Coláistí Samhraidh agus an Gnáth scoil, toisc go mbíonn an Coláiste go hiomlán in loco parentis go dtí go bhfilleann an dalta abhaile.
Cé gur chomhchoiste neamhrialtasach é CONCOS, déantar gach iarracht chun ard chaighdeán a chinntiú mar sin féin. Cé go ndearnadh gach iarracht chun chinntiú go bhfuil an t-eolas uile ar an suíomh seo cuí, is iad na Coláistí féin na headránaithe deireanacha ó thaobh áirithint, eolas, agus más ann do ghearáin. Ní mór mar sin dul i dteagmháil leis an gColáiste a roghnaíonn tú go díreach.

Unlike a normal primary or secondary school, when your child goes to an Irish College the Coláiste is truly in loco parentis until he/she returns home.
While CONCOS is a non-statutory body, we make every effort to ensure our high standards are maintained throughout. While every effort is made to ensure that all information is accurate on this site, the individual College is the final arbiter for booking, information and registration of complaints should one arise. In the first instance, therefore, contact should be made through the Coláiste selected.

Information on some events during the course
Cónaidhm is ea CONCOS (Comhchoiste na gColáistí Samhraidh) de os cionn 42 Coláiste Samhraidh, taobh istigh and taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht, chomh maith le Coláistí Cónaithe sa cheithre Chúige. Ta na Coláistí ar fad formheasta ag an Roinn Oideachais agus Eolaíochta agus an Roinn Gnóthaí Pobail, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta. Ina theannta sin, tá dualgas ar na gColáistí uile cloí le Bunreacht agus Cód Iompar CONCOS.
Tá taithí den scoth ag foireann dhíograiseach Coláistí Samhraidh CONCOS. Tá siad ar fad tiomanta ó thaobh cur chun cinn na teanga agus súil géar acu i gcónaí ar mhodhanna múinte nua aimseartha agus forbairt dhaoine óga. Bíonn teagmháil rialta idir CONCOS agus an Roinn Sláinte agus Leanaí chun sláinte, sábháilteacht agus feitheoireacht den scoth a chinntiú agus an dalta ag freastal ar Choláiste Samhraidh.
Ní hionann na Coláistí Samhraidh agus an Gnáth scoil, toisc go mbíonn an Coláiste go hiomlán in loco parentis go dtí go bhfilleann an dalta abhaile.
Cé gur chomhchoiste neamhrialtasach é CONCOS, déantar gach iarracht chun ard chaighdeán a chinntiú mar sin féin. Cé go ndearnadh gach iarracht chun chinntiú go bhfuil an t-eolas uile ar an suíomh seo cuí, is iad na Coláistí féin na headránaithe deireanacha ó thaobh áirithint, eolas, agus más ann do ghearáin. Ní mór mar sin dul i dteagmháil leis an gColáiste a roghnaíonn tú go díreach.
