The Courtyard Venue in Kavanagh’s Portlaoise played host to a Trad Summer School recently.
The Trad Summer School was ran by Music Generation Laois.
The summer school is an annual event that allows young people to take part in workshops. These workshops run over three days.
These workshops help them to improve their music skills and to have fun with other youngsters.
There was a great turnout for this year’s summer school.
The participants had great fun interacting with fellow musicians and it was a great three days.
MOXIE, an Irish traditional band, took to the stage at the Courtyard Venue to give participants a concert on the second day of the summer school.
The student’s also performed their own concert on the final day of the summer school.
Photographer Denis Byrne was on hand to capture the action as it happened.
