Josh Brady (5th Year) recounts what it was like when he was in the Stratford National School Tin Whistle Band.
On Tuesday 8th March, the Córfhéile took place in the National Basketball Arena. The Stratford National School Tin Whistle Band take part in the non-competitive event every year. Students strive to do their best. The night is always a roaring success. I personally played with my 5th and 6th class when I was in Stratford National School at the Córfhéile. As a 5th Year Music student I am proud that I took part in such a big event at a young age. It was nerve-racking and stressful coming up to it and I still remember the large amount of practice. Ms. Conlon accompanies the Tin Whistle Band every year which keeps the secondary school link with this important event.

It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
