They call it ” the craic “. It’s an Irish word for fun.Traditional Irish music sessions, or trad sessions, are gatherings of musicians and singers who enjoy traditional Irish music. You can find it at the second Saturday of the month Music Session. It starts at 5pm at Molly’s with Celtic tunes and progresses into ballads and songs.

Camping weekends are a chance to get out of town, relax and enjoy each other's company! NQIA introduced camping trips in 2020 and as it was a hit we saw two more camps in 2021. We are hoping to organise two trips a year in August and November. Keep you eye out here or on our Facebook page for updates of when the camps are booked! |
