Athlone Pop-Up Gaeltacht will host an evening of traditional music and culture in St Kieran’s Community Centre to celebrate Óiche Chultúir 2023.
Óiche Chultúir is the Irish language focus of the annually hosted Culture Night which takes place on Friday, September 22, throughout the country.
Athlone Pop-Up Gaeltacht, with funding provided by An tOireachtas, is set to provide a great evening of live entertainment for all ages from 7.30pm at the community centre venue.
“This is set to be a fantastic event open to all ages. We have local set dancing legend Tom Shine running a Céilí workshop for the first hour, and then we will have music from local tradition musicians Ná Bádóirí.
“The event will be entirely in the Irish language, and it will be a great chance for people young and old, whatever their background to join us in this celebration of our native language, music and dance,” language activist and secretary of the local Conradh na Gaeilge branch, Mickey Moran, said.
Refreshments will be available on the night, and the event is completely free thanks to the kind sponsorship of the event by An-tOireachtas.
