Wahoo! Yes, we are planning to go ahead, and can now announce the tutor line-up. Registration is now open for early bird discounts – register now, pay later!
Covid caveat
We are still awaiting a change in level from Red to Orange. If we drop to Orange, we are confident that all Ceol Aneas classes and events can operate, but are checking with the pubs in relation to sessions, and working through the safety measures needed for each event and venue. It is likely (for example) that masks may still be needed.
If we stay in Red, or return to Red later, the committee will review the decision to go ahead, as we will not be able to offer some events, such as the céilí and concert, and will need to consider the effects on singing, flute, and whistle classes. We will therefore not take registration fees until 16th May, to avoid the complication of refunds. If a full programme is not possible, we will consider various options, such as cancelling or running a partial programme.
It is important to register in advance to ensure your place in Ceol Aneas, as numbers are likely to be capped on some classes and events. Walk-in registrations will therefore not be available this year.

Flights and accommodation
Book your flight if needed, remembering to pay extra in case you need to cancel.
If booking accommodation at the YHA, email or call them, as they only take bookings for this weekend for musicians and our friends, to ensure we are all allocated together.
