Concertina Workshop taking place Saturday September 5th from 10:00am - 1:00 pm.

Ríona Hely is a concertina player from Ennis, County Clare. She is currently studying

music and Irish in UCC and is a recipient of the Quercus Creative and Performing Arts

scholarship. Ríona learnt her music under the tutelage of Mary MacNamara in Tulla, and

her style is heavily influenced by the regional style of East Clare. She passes on the

tradition through teaching music both at home in Ennis and in Cork. She has won many

accolades, most notably Siansa Gael Linn in 2023 with the group “Binneas”, the under-18

All-Ireland concertina title at the Fleadh in 2024, and most recently Bonn Óir Seán Ó Riada

in January of this year.
