Ukulele Céilí 3 - 5 May 2014

Back by popular demand, our hit music and dance from Tradfest 2013 workshop returns to The Ark after triumphant appearances around Ireland in Big House Festival and Roola Boola Festival last year.

Learn to play a well-known céilí tune on the ukulele, the little guitar-like folk instrument from the pacific islands. You'll also learn the steps of an Irish céilí dance to go with the music. Towards the end of the workshop we’ll bring it all together for a big Ukulele Céilí – fun like you’ve never had before is guaranteed! You don't need to bring a Ukulele as we will provide them tuned and ready for you on the day!

As a family workshop, adults are encouraged to join in the fun with their children. Everyone actively participating will require a ticket. Non-participating adults can relax and watch the activities.

Suitable for all levels including complete beginners.
