Weekend one will feature music workshops with Liz & Yvonne Kane, Frank Custy and Michelle Mulcahy.
Sea Week obviously features great music but to reinforce its basic philosophy which is to provide a space for expression, it will have a wonderful art exhibition which opens in the Connemara National Park on Friday 17th Oct featuring the work of award winning Conamara painter David Keane. It will also have a major Book Fair for children and adults in the Ellis Hall as well as movies for child
