Tá ríméad orainn a bheith ar ais i Leitir Ceanainn arís, óstbhaile a bhí flaithiúil, fáiltiúil agus gnaíúil linn sna blianta atá caite. Táimid ag súil go mór le bualadh le seanchairde anseo agus, thar aon ní eile, le glún nua a mhealladh a leanfaidh ag cur chun cinn muintearas, cairdeas agus comhthuiscint i measc na náisiún Ceilteach trínár n-ealaíona, ár dteangacha, ár bhfóram dioscúrsa agus ár spórt. Is é ár mór-mhian gréasáin nua a bhunú chun go gcabhróimid lena chéile staid ár dteangacha, ár gcultúr agus ár n-ealaíon a neartú ar mhaithe leis na Ceiltigh uile a thiocfaidh inár ndiaidh. Gabhaimid buíochas le Comhairle Contae Dhún na nGall agus le feidhmeannas na Comhairle as a dtiomantas don fhéile agus d’aidhmeanna Pan-Cheilteach, go háirithe leo siúd a ghlac cúram ar leith d’imeachtaí na féile, Charles Sweeney, Ciaran Ó Máirtín, Padráig Ó Dochartaigh, Christina O’Domhnaill, Máire Ní Fhearraigh, Róise Ní Laifeartaigh, agus Seán Ó Daimhín. Gabhaim buíochas speisialta le Gearóid Ó Maonaigh as Clár na Féile a riaradh – is mór againn a shaineolas, a spiorad agus a ildánacht. Táimid faoi chomaoin ag pobal Leitir Ceanainn as a gcuid doirse agus a gcuid croíthe a oscailt Seachtain na Cásca 2018 le fáilte a chur roimh Cheiltigh as Alba, Breizh, Cymru, Éirinn, Mannin & Kernow.

It is my great honour, on behalf of the International Pan Celtic Council, to extend a hearty Celtic welcome to all participants and visitors to the 47th International Pan Celtic Festival. We are delighted to be back in Leitir Ceanainn again, having enjoyed the warmth of this host-town’s welcome and hospitality in the past. We look forward to renewing old friendships and, most importantly, to embracing a new generation who will continue to celebrate our shared Celtic heritage. Our greatest aspiration is to encourage networks of cooperation across our six nations to support the work of each nation in strengthening our languages, our culture and our traditional arts. We are indebted to Donegal County Council for supporting the ideals of Pan Celtic and for devoting valuable time and resources to the festival. It is a mark of the values and principles of the Councillors and Management of this County Council that they endeavour to enrich the community they serve through the promotion of culture, arts and heritage. I am grateful to Charles Sweeney, Ciaran Martin, Paddy Doherty, Christina O’Donnell, Máire Ní Fhearraigh, Róise Ní Laifeartaigh and Seán Ó Daimhín in particular who have surmounted many trials with grace and good humour and continue to give of their time and energy, above and beyond the call of duty. I wish to acknowledge the mammoth achievement of the Events Co-Ordinator, Gearóid Ó Maonaigh, who only joined the team very recently and express our appreciation of his guidance and expertise. We are beholden to the people of Leitir Ceanainn who have opened their doors and hearts once again this Easter Week of 2018 to Celts from Alba, Breizh, Cymru, Éire, Mannin, Kernow and beyond. Our thanks to all the sponsors who support the festival, the volunteers who give so generously of their time and energy & the National Committees who prepare their competitors and their delegations. 1 THE INTERNATIONAL PAN CELTIC FESTIVAL 2018 Fáilte ó Chathaoirleach Choiste Phan-Cheilteach Leitir Ceanainn 2018 Caitlín Uí Chochlainn Fearaim fíorchaoin fáilte roimh an Fhéile Idirnáisúnta Phan-Cheilteach 2018 agus d’ár gcomh-Cheiltigh ar ais go Leitir Ceanainn.

A Céad Míle Fáilte to the International Pan Celtic Festival 2018 and to our fellow-Celts back to Letterkenny.

We will celebrate and share our Celtic heritage, cultures, traditions and especially our lovely languages together with Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany, Cornwall and the Isle of Man. I wish to acknowledge the busy and dedicated local Pan Celtic committee who work earnestly to make your visit to the Pan Celtic Festival in Letterkenny a great one. They have compiled a comprehensive programme of events comprising of competitions, céilís, parade, busking, tours, exhibitions, camogie and loads of entertainment for all ages. I wish to acknowledge the Pan Celtic festival sponsors especially Donegal County Council, Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce, St. Eunan’s GAA, Donegal Camogie Board and Letterkenny Cathedral Quarter. Thanks also to the media and to the Irish Pan Celtic Committee for all their support. “Bígí Linn le fáilte” 2 THE INTERNATIONAL PAN CELTIC FESTIVAL 2018 Fáilte ó Mhéara Leitir Ceanainn Mayor of Letterkenny Welcome Cllr Jimmy Kavanagh Mar Mhéara ar bhaile Leitir Ceanainn, is mian liom fearadh na fáilte a chur romhaibh uilig chuig Féile Phan-Cheilteach 2018. Tá lúcháir mhór orm gur anseo a bheidh an Fhéile i mbliana, agus fosta ar an bhliain seo chugainn in 2019. Bhí an Fhéile Phan-Cheilteach anseo cheana féin in 2007, agus tá mé cinnte, daoibhse a bhí anseo roimhe, go bhfuil athruithe móra le feiceáil ar an bhaile agus ar an cheantar máguaird. Ach tá rud amháin nár athraigh, is é sin an fháilte a chuireann an pobal romhaibhse ar fad. Tá súil agam go mbainfidh sibh uilig an-sult as an Fhéile Phan-Cheilteach, go gcasfaidh sibh le bhur gcairde ó na tíortha Ceilteacha eile, agus go gcruthóidh sibh cairdis úra. As Mayor of Letterkenny, I welcome you all to the Pan Celtic Festival 2018. It gives me great pleasure and joy that the Festival will return here to Letterkenny again in 2019. The Festival was last in Letterkenny in 2007, and I am certain that those of you who visited us then will find many changes in our town. However, there is one thing that has not changed, that is the welcome to you from the community of Letterkenny. I hope that you enjoy the Pan Celtic Festival, that you meet with your friends from the Celtic countries, and that you make new friends here. 3 THE INTERNATIONAL PAN CELTIC FESTIVAL 2018 Fáilte ó Mhéara na Condae Welcome from the Cathaoirleach of Donegal Cllr Gerry McMonagle Is mór an onóir agus an phribhléid domsa, Méara na Condae, fáiltiú rómhaibh ar fad chuig an Fhéile Phan-Cheilteach 2018. Tá an obair déanta ag Líonra Leitir Ceanainn, ag comhoibriú le heagrais chultúrtha eile i Leitir Ceanainn agus i nDún na nGall leis an Fhéile seo a chur ar siúl. Tréaslaím fosta le foireann na Comhairle Condae atá ag obair go dícheallach le cúpla bliain leis an Fhéile Phan-Cheilteach a mhealladh go Leitir Ceanainn i mbliana agus ar an bhliain seo chugainn fosta.

    Link to thesis website Chapter 6 Competing speech communities Chapter 6 Competing speech communities The final chapter of this section focuses on the evolution of folk tradition, and the new spaces created for performance, within the Celto-Cornish movement through the latter half of the twentieth century to the current era of festival culture and Pan- Celticism. It makes the case that the Celto-Cornish movement and the folk revival that arrived in Cornwall in the sixties represent different speech communities, which competed for ownership of oral folk tradition and the authenticity it represented. It must be also be recognised that there is a third speech community with a stake in the celebration of tradition, the local community within which it takes place. One outcome of these competing speech communities is the way in which the same folk phenomena will be used to express quite different identities. The Padstow May Day festivities for example are a celebration that firstly represents a sense of the towns community1 and secondly a Celto-Cornish tradition2 but at the same time is used as an icon by the English Folk Dance And Song Society.3 Underlying this discussion, however, must be the recognition that identity is chaotically unique for each individual and each group of individuals, all of which are at the centre of a “complex web of being”.4 In order to pursue this argument it is first necessary to revisit and examine more closely what is meant by a speech community and how this might affect performance and meaning within oral folk tradition.

I hope that these talented harpists will always be nurtured and helped in the country that has a harp as its national emblem.’ ‘The interest in the Irish harp is ever increasing and growing worldwide!’ ‘It never ceases to amaze me the profound effect this beautiful instrument has on audiences all around the world.‘ ‘I think the harp is fast becoming a mainstream instrument, which is brilliant.’ ‘All Irish children should have an opportunity to hear and see [the harp]... it is part of our culture and heritage and we have a responsibility to try and keep this tradition alive.’ ‘I find that when I play for people they are… as interested in the stories pertaining to the harp as they are in the music itself.’ ‘There is a whole market that could be created and developed out of the harp to enhance tourism, cultural life, and generate income.’ ‘I have been learning the instrument for less than a year, and it’s been greatly to my benefit.’ ‘I have seen the enormous growth in interest in harp playing.

  • The Celto-Cornish Movement and Folk Tradition in Cornwall
    Link to thesis website Chapter 5: Fakelore, revival and survival Chapter 5: Fakelore, revival and survival: The Celto - Cornish movement and folk tradition in Cornwall. Celticity is an inescapable element of contemporary Cornish Studies. This chapter shows that the impact it has had on the canon of musical material described as folk and on the process of oral folk tradition in Cornwall is as varied and debated as the very term Celtic itself. Cornwall has belonged to the Celtic imaginary throughout the evolution of the term since its genesis denoting a linguistic family in Lluyd’s Archaeologica Britannica 1707. Cornwall was represented at the first Celtic conference in St Brieuc, Brittany in 1867.1 Following a campaign by Cowethas Kelto-Kernuak, the Pan Celtic Congress accepted Cornwall as a member in 1904. This campaign culminated in the presentation of a paper by Henry Jenner to the Congress. 2 This paper sought to demonstrate that the Cornish Language was not extinct and therefore Cornwall met the criteria for membership i.e. it had a living Celtic Language. In twenty first century Cornwall, Celticity finds articulation in an increasing variety of forms from the politics of cultural identity, through archaeology to mysticism and spirituality as shown by Hale and Payton.3 This is also illustrated by the programme of papers presented at a symposium entitled “Celticity and Cornwall” held during the Lowender Peran festival in October 2009.4 Critiques of Celticity represented particularly by Hobsbawm et al and Chapman point to its constructed, and by implication, artificial nature. 5 Hale and Payton draw upon Sims-Williams and Colley to show that Celtic is used and understood today to broadly refer to the peoples, languages and cultures of Cornwall, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, the Isle of Man and Scotland.

  • Information Document on the Implementation of the Recommendations for Immediate Action Based on the 5Th Monitoring Cycle
    Strasbourg, 5 January 2021 MIN-LANG (2021) IRIA 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Information Document on the implementation of the Recommendations for Immediate Action based on the 5th monitoring cycle Submitted by the United Kingdom on 5 January 2021 DECEMBER 2020 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Member State Implementation of the Recommendations contained in the Committee of Experts’ fifth evaluation report on the UNITED KINGDOM 1 1. Cornish Recommendation for immediate action a. Devolve responsibility and provide funding to the County of Cornwall and Cornwall Council for the promotion of Cornish Implementation measures taken by the United Kingdom authorities 1. Cornwall Council almost entirely holds responsibility on language planning and funding for Cornish, but is subject to competing pressures for other local services. Cornwall is the only local authority in England with its own minority language, and Cornwall Council is in the unique position of having to discharge the undertakings of international agreements such as the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, and the Framework Convention for National Minorities on behalf of the United Kingdom Government. 2. The United Kingdom Government provided a one-year grant of £150k in 2019/2020, which enabled a range of Cornish language projects. This was a positive step in enabling Cornish language groups to create modern resources for teaching and using Cornish. 3. The United Kingdom Government was unable to provide direct funding to Cornwall Council for such projects in 2020/2021. The United Kingdom Government has reiterated its continued commitment to supporting and promoting the Cornish language and its heritage, under both the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages and the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities.
