Cork County Council Celebrates Return of Special Music Event Scheme for Seventh Year
Cork County Council is excited to announce the return of a community-led initiative to promote tourism and celebrate the vibrant music culture of West Cork.
Now in its seventh year, the Special Music Event Scheme provides grant funding to voluntary music groups, enabling them to organise and perform up to four music events in their local towns within the West Cork and Bandon/Kinsale Municipal District areas.
The Special Music Event Scheme has been instrumental in showcasing the incredible talent of local musicians over the years. This year's programme promises to be no different, featuring performances by talented groups from across West Cork. Audiences can expect a blend of brass and reed music, local silver and brass band music, along with traditional music, song, and dance by local Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann music groups.
