James Byrne from Meenacross, Glencolmcille who kept the local music,
style and technique alive. His legacy is being continued by his family
and friends and the many young players he taught and inspired. The
school is
held annually in late July in Meenacross a townland in
Glencolmcille renowned for generations of great
musicians and where every house was said to have a fiddle.
Graded classes for all levels focusing on local style and repertoire
from the Glencolmcille area are taught by members of the Byrne family
and other well-known players in the Donegal tradition.
Concerts, recitals, sessions.
