***Friday March 10th ***
After having a great evening of songs by the fire from Rosie Stewart back in November during the Scoil Cheoil weekend, we decided that it'd be great to invite her to perform as part of the Cornagilta Concert series. Here she is as part of the Gradam Ceoil TG4 award concert in 2004.

We had a great night here last Friday and the venue always adds to anything it hosts! Im sure tonight will be no dufferent!

If you're looking for a great night out tonight (Saturday 19th November), come along to Cornagilta School Heritage Centre H18 ED89 at 8pm when we welcome a first visit of “The Forge Anvils” to the school. The group is an eclectic mix of very talented individuals who will perform a combination of music, song, poetry, storytelling, traditional recitation, and sharing historical tales. The Forge Anvils have been in existence for approximately 3 years, with the group deriving its name from the fact that they make music and melodic noise on the site of an old Monaghan Town forge. This is a night not to be missed, and we thank the group for including Cornagilta in their event calendar. Admission free, but donations welcome towards ongoing restoration and upgrades at this beautiful heritage building. Come early, limited seating, a great night is in store.
