Every July Drumshanbo plays host to the award winning Joe Mooney Summer School, a week long festival of traditional Irish music, song and dance named after the man who did so much to promote the cause of Leitrim and his beloved town. The committee continue to emulate his high ideals, endeavouring to promote Leitrim’s heritage of traditional music while handing on the best traditions of the past to future generations.
We are delighted to say that the 35th Joe Mooney Summer School will take place from the 19th to the 26th July 2025.
Please check our social media pages for updates as plans progress.
