Brosna CCE Comhaltas Seisiún

Friday night last saw the third week of the Brosna CCE Comhaltas Seisiún.   Which took place in the Parochial Hall Clara County Offaly.
This week saw the Seisiún start with the young branch members doing their Irish dancing routine to the music of the Reel set. The Programme continued with a song from one of the many singers which were present on the night, next on the programme was a Harp on which we heard a solo, the branch has two harp players one which will feature each week.  Then next on to “the circle of tunes” which saw the musicians play tunes together and doing solos, back to the dancing then were Sean Nós dancers, very good routines from younger and older  dancers.  More singing, music and Set Dancing included Reel Sets and Jig Sets.
Finishing the first half of the show with the brush dancers, and into the kitchen for the cup of tea which the ladies had prepared with the scones, cakes and biscuits.
The second half of the show saw loads of audience participation including songs, tunes and more dancing, the Siegh of Ennis and more Sean Nós dancing.  The show finished with the Reel set Swallows Tail helped by the Bowran player.  Make a date next week at 8.45, in the Parochail Hall Clara its’ well worth a visit for the music, craic, dance, and story telling.
