Frankie Kennedy

And so for me, a lot of the music... was learned.

There was a great winter school that was set up in the great Frankie Kennedy's memory and hundreds of young people learn music there and I was lucky to be one of the people that got to learn music there and it's over winter time and And it was just the most magical time we'd have.

Sometimes we'd have Christmas in Glasgow and then we'd go straight over to home in Donegal.

And you'd learn music at the foot of Errigal in the Dunluie Centre.

It was, yeah, sessions and it's our social life as well.

So we'd have, between Christmas and New Year, was just spent playing music.

And I think for me, the Frankie Kennedy Winter School, now Skalger Rigi Dorr, It's definitely, it's still the thing I look forward to most in the year.

It's really, really special.
