Ceolinn

Ceolinn was the brainchild of Marita Clerkin in 2019 after attending an adult class taught by Noreen Boyle in Cootehill, Co.Cavan she asked the question “why can’t we do this in our own county of Monaghan”.

Five years later, with 80 plus members, Ceoilinn has become the role model for people who wish to either, return to playing music after many lapsed years, or those of middle years who have a yearning to learn an

instrument. Noreen, the musical director, hosts weekly classes in tow locations and over the past 15 months, Ceoilinn have been invited to perform I The Garage Theatre, at Feile Oriel and

other locally based events. Ceoilinn has offered the great opportunity to come (back) to music, within a group setting, not having any pressure to excel, but most importantly to enjoy learning and playing in a collective environment.

Thanks to Niall and Catriona McClean for their ongoing support and use of their facility every week. This year they welcomed Stephenie Jebb onboard as a singing tutor with 25 singers now attending.

Ceolinn continue to perform and entertain at numerous events with a sheer enjoyment for what they do. Makesure you catch them at Féile Oriel 2024.
