Fleadh Ceoil vows to tune up Macroom’s economy

They’re tuning their fiddles ahead of one of the country’s biggest county fleadh ceoil events this weekend.

Up to 1,000 musicians are set to perform at venues across Macroom in Co Cork on Saturday and Sunday as part of the Cork County Fleadh Ceoil.

Organisers from Aghinagh Comhaltas committee expect an estimated 6,000 visitors, meaning the town in the heart of the Muscraí gaeltacht is in line for a major economic boost.
