Longford's infatuation with the small instrument that enjoys a big following was abundantly clear last weekend as the Ukulele Céilí drew ukers from across the globe to town. The Céili was a feast of concerts, street events, competitions, workshops and more. The 2023 lineup of artists included local acts The Sneaky Tequilas and The Coffee Beans. The musicians were joined by national acts Ukulele Tuesday, Galway Ukers, Ukulele Sligo and Elena Duff. The Saturday night concert by Ukulele Tuesday was a real crowd pleaser. Longford Leader / Longford Live photographer Shelley Corcoran captured these great photos from the Ukulele Céilí and we hope you enjoy them. And don't forget to tag and share with your friends!
