Tuamgraney Harp Festival 2024

Tuamgraney Harp Festival

5-7th April 2024

Tuamgraney and its surrounds are renowned for traditional music and are home to several highly acclaimed musicians.  Traditional music sessions are held regularly at Nuala’s in the village and as part of several festivals held throughout the year.

The area is also steeped in other aspects of the Arts with the adjoining villages hosting a range of events throughout the year.  These include the longest continuous amateur drama festival in Ireland and an Arts festival attracting many international artistes.

The Blossom Harp Festival was initiated in 2016 in the village of Tuamgraney. The festival runs overs two days and aims to rejuvenate interest in the harp, the Irish national emblem and integral to our culture for centuries, by supporting ensembles and integration with other traditional instruments.

To achieve this aim workshops have been held, primarily in the harp, at introductory, intermediate and advanced level, but also in the fiddle and concertina, all facilitated by renowned musicians.  A competition for solo harpists and combination groups was introduced in 2017.

Cruit Éireann | Harp Ireland are delighted to support two young harpers attending the festival this year.
