The Annual "Cup of Tae" Festival in Ardara, Co. Donegal, takes place again this year on May Bank Holiday Friday 28th April to Mon 1st May, 2023. This year is a special year for the committee as we honour one of the truly unsung heroes of the festival and the teaching of traditional music in general.
This year we honour Donna Harkin with a special Concert in her honour on the Friday night in her favourite spot: The Beehive Bar. Donna has been teaching young people at the festival since it started focusing on the young and beginners as she has that wonderful temperament and passion to see more and more people learn how to play an instrument. In the world of traditional music Donna is loved by all who know her, and all are so happy with the committee's decision to honour her. Of course Donna will be one of the teachers at the famous schools of music as part of the "Cup of Tae" festival.
In the past wonderful teachers like Jim McKillop, Brid Harper, The Campbells, Michael O'Rourke, Martin McGinley, Seamus Gibson to name but a few have been teachers at the festival.
The "Cup of Tae" festival often affectionately known as the biggest little festival in Ireland is a must for lovers of traditional music with a spontaneous session at all times throughout the festival.
