“STRINGS” in Derry

During the month of June “STRINGS” fiddle group took part in The International Youth Fiddle Camp at The North Atlantic Fiddle Convention in Derry city. Although the kids worked very hard every day, it was an enjoyable week. There were 179 young fiddle players taking part in the camp. The Millstreet players attended and took part in music sessions and concerts during the week. The Clipper Round The World Yacht Race was visiting the city on the weekend we were there and “STRINGS” were filmed as part of the tv program “CLIPPER” shown on BBC1 NI on Friday 6th July.  Derry is a wonderful city, full of history, beautiful buildings and lovely friendly people. I took hundreds of pictures – here is a selection. Hope you enjoy them. G.D.
