The Academy of Music Tullamore have once again triumphed at this year’s Sligo Feis Ceoil which was held over the recent Easter holidays.

For the past number of years The Academy of Music Tullamore has done remarkably well, with their hardworking students greatly impressing a team of vastly experienced adjudicators. This year was certainly no exception with the following students joining a long list of prominent winners.

1st place Junior Vocal Solo Under 16 went to  year old Eva Henry of Tullamore, Co. Offaly.

2nd place Junior Vocal Solo Under 9 went to 7 year old Michael Finan of Castle Daly, Co. Westmeath.

3rd Place Vocal Solo Under 14 went to 12 year old Lauren Finan of Castle Daly, Co. Westmeath.

This is a marvellous achievement for each and every participant and a clear reflection of their dedication and hours of practicing.  As The Academy of Music, Tullamore approaches its end of year examinations this is already proving to be a hugely fruitful year for the Academy as it continues to nurture the ever growing talent of midland musicians.

In its 115 year illustrious history, Sligo Feis Ceoil has welcomed and rewarded the finest musicians, artists and thespians from the length and breadth of Ireland. Boasting a wide range of categories, often with 20-25 participants per competition, Sligo Feis Ceoil is a renowned platform for budding artists and established talent to compete against like- minded and gifted individuals.
