The late Billy Finn was a native of Kilkenny who spent much of his adult life as a secondary school teacher in Ballyshannon, where he was a founding member of the local Phil Rooney Branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. An accomplished uilleann piper and flute player, his various sets of pipes and chanters have been generously loaned by his family to the Billy Finn Trust, whereby many young Donegal uilleann pipers are now learning to play the instruments.

We are delighted to let you all know that there will be an amazing line-up of talent here on the night as part of The Donegal Bay and Blue Stacks Festival – Paul Harrigan, Gerry O’Connor, Rita Gallagher, Daire Gallagher & Cian Sweeney.
