March 8, 2013
Gnó Mhaigh Eo in conjunction with Oifig Gaeilge Mhaigh Eo is celebrating Seachtain na Gaeilge 2013 with a Bronntanas na Gaeilge (Give the Gift of Gaeilge) campaign.
A toy, book, or gift will be available to win each day for the duration of Seachtain na Gaeilge (March 4-17) on the Gaeilge Mhaigh Eo and Gnó Mhaigh Eo Facebook pages and on Twitter, as well as spot prizes at some of the Seachtain na Gaeilge events.
Many of us have seen Bábóg Baby and Scrabble through Irish but did you know that there are many Irish language products that are made in Mayo?
It was two Mayo publishers who published two of the best selling Irish language books in the last year. The publishing company Evertype, based outside Westport, recently published an Irish version of The Hobbit, the English version of the book celebrated its 75th year last year. An Hobad features the original pictures and maps by JRR Tolkien. Cló Mhaigh Eo also added to its series of graphic novels with An Béal Bocht, one of the most popular books in Irish based on the original novel by Flann O’Brien/Myles na gCopaleen.
Between T-shirts from Deir Sé and T-Rex, greeting cards from Wild Ideas, Marian Heneghan and Cathal Can Sign, lovely prints from I Love Mayo and Mindful Productivity it is possible to support both the Irish language and Mayo businesses at the same time.
Make sure to keep an eye out on the Facebook page and Twitter feed from March 4 to 17, or go along to one or two Irish events for Seachtain na Gaeilge in Mayo to win your gift. A full list of the events happening across Mayo to celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge is available on www.snag.ie

Up to 10,000 expected at Carlow Pan Celtic International Festival this Easter
March 8, 2013
CARLOW is bracing itself for a Celtic invasion as up to 10,000 visitors are expected over the Easter holidays for the 42nd International Pan Celtic Festival, one of the first ‘Gathering’ events of the year for the town.
The six day Pan Celtic International Festival runs from April 2 – 7 and is a unique celebration of Celtic culture which attracts enthusiasts from across Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany, Cornwall and the Isle of Man.
The international festival is the annual Gathering of the Celts and features a host of free events and some ticketed shows and competitions for singers, songwriters, musicians, dancers, choirs, poets, story tellers and their followers, from across the six participating nations.
Festival Director, Bride de Róiste, looks forward to a fantastic few days and says momentum is really building ahead of this year’s gathering of the clans. “This is an extra special year and we’re delighted to host one of Carlow’s premier ‘Gathering’ events.
“We’ve a great festival line-up and highlights include storytelling and swapping, concerts, book launches, traditional singing and choral competitions as well as piping and drumming, harp, fiddle and dance contests in dozens of venues across Carlow town.”
The highlight for many will be the Pan Celtic International Song Contest on Thursday, April 4. It will feature newly-composed songs in their own Celtic language from each of the six nations, with Ireland being represented by Seoirse Ó Dochartaigh from Donegal, singing Le Do Thaobh, composed by Connemara native Áine Durkin. The song is a moving and poignant tribute to Áine’s late sister.
The entire town comes alive for the festival. Outdoor entertainment includes Celtic dancing, an open-air Ceilí, busking competitions and the festival parade. Festival-goers are also invited to run, walk or jog the Pan Celtic Mile!
The Trad Trail features no less than 40 sessions and 80 musicians in a total of 12 hostelries. There is also a series of workshops which range from baby fiddle to master classes in all traditional instruments, as well as Sean-Nós, Céilí and Breton dance classes.
This year’s programme also features performances from the Garda Band, RTÉ Cór na nÓg, Thurso Pipe Band, Pervish, The Great Trad Train and ARDS CCÉ as well as 3 Orchestras in Concert. Celtic language classes will offer a taste of Scots Gaelic, Manx and Cornish as well as Irish.
A Festival Club in the Seven Oaks Hotel, hosted by a different nation each night, will give a taste of the very best of Celtic entertainment each country has to offer. The festival is a true family event, with workshops and attractions galore for children, a ‘Celtic Taste of Carlow’ artisan farmers’ market and much more.
All fringe events are free of charge and for further details, log on to www.panceltic.ie
