Hosted by Cormac Keating and Conor MacMahon (Uilleann Pipes)
‘Samhain’ marks the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year.
Funding has been secured from the Leeds City Council Cultural Investment Programme to deliver our new project, ‘The Wheel of the Year’ to provide a programme of community Irish Arts participatory and performance workshops across Leeds.
‘The Wheel of the Year’ is the celtic calendar and focuses on the cyclical change of seasons evenly spaced throughout the year, celebrating the transition of the sun throughout the seasons combined with the solstices and equinoxes. Lughnasadh (Aug 1st), Samhain,(Oct 31st), Imbolc (Feb 1st) and Bealtaine (May 1st).
We are also working directly with a number of community groups to celebrate ‘Samhain’.
International Uilleann Piping Day on Saturday 1st November is a global celebration of the Irish pipes or 'uilleann pipes'
The Irish uilleann (elbow) pipes have been recognised as an important and unique cultural heritage symbol by The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)
