Young Musicians of the Year
Which instrument do you play?
In the band, I always play the fiddle. Patrick plays the accordion, Nuala plays the flute and Ted plays the bodhrán.Do you sing, too?
No, I don’t. I never sing – I’ve got a terrible voice! But the other people in the band are good singers, so they often sing.Where does the band usually play?
We usually play at local céilís in social clubs or at school discos. Our music is great for dancing. Everybody dances at a céilí!How often do you practise?
I practise with the band twice a week. We usually meet at the youth club on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then we often play concerts on Fridays.Are you from a musical family?
My parents love Irish music. Mum plays the flute and Dad plays the whistle. But my brothers don’t play – they prefer Gaelic football!Gaelic Glossary
