Ceol Aneas is a festival of traditional Irish music, song and dance
Ceol Aneas (pronounced key-ol an-ass) which means Music of the South in the Irish language, attracts traditional Irish musicians from around Aotearoa/New Zealand and abroad.
There are workshops in tradition Irish tunes and technique for instruments, a singing workshop and there are also dance classes. Registration is required for these workshops.
There is also a cèilidh (or céilí) on Saturday night which anyone can attend, and a Concert on Sunday night.
Ceol Aneas students, tutors and other musicians will be in the pubs around Nelson playing traditional Irish music sessions. There is no charge for these sessions, and you might want to go to more than one, as each one will be different.
