Steiner School fundraisers

The Kildare Steiner School, located at Gormanstown, outside Kilcullen, is hosting two special Trad and Folk nights in the Moat Theatre, Naas, on May 26 and June 2.

Those performing include ‘Bunoscionn’, one of the new generation of ballad and folk groups who offer a fresh interpretation and energy to many of our best loved songs.

Balladeer and local man Ger Loughlin will be joining them on the night. Ger has performed in Ireland and internationally for the past seven years with folk group Dublin City Workingman’s Band.

Also taking part is ‘Arc’, a group of young musicians from the Hollywood and Ballymore Eustace area who have all in some way been associated over the last 10 years with the Laura Greaves Music School in Hollywood.

The Dara Quartet will be performing a set of Irish tunes and airs specially arranged for string quartet. They have been playing together for eight years and began when they were all still members of the Dunlavin Youth Orchestra.

Tickets are €12 and are available from the box office on 045 883030 or online at www.moattheatre.com

All proceeds from the two concerts will go to the Kildare Steiner School. The school has a Mother and Toddler Group, Kindergarten and Primary School on a 4-acre campus.
