The joyous month of June brings the long awaited summer holidays for children here in Ireland. The weather gets warmer, the flowers are blooming and there is an urge to spend as much time outside as possible. June is jam packed with important dates in Ireland such as World Environment Day, Father's Day, LGBT Pride and the summer solstice.
Once again we are looking for the best photos from your Vagabond or Driftwood tour. This month’s prize is a traditional Irish music hamper, kindly donated to us by Siopa Ceoil an Daingin (pronounced Shupa Kee-ole awn Dangin) which is Irish for Dingle Music Shop.
How to Win
To be in with a chance to win, you’ll need to submit your best Vagabond or Driftwood tour photo(s). Share photo with us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Don't forget to include the hashtag #MyVagabondTour.
The Prize
Siopa Ceoil an Daingin is a little gem of a music shop in Dingle, Co. Kerry. It is owned by local musician Michael Herlihy and run by himself and Caitriona Nolan. They specialise in Irish traditional music and have an astounding selection of CDs, instruments and books. They promote all things Irish and three days a week from April to October local musicians, singers and dancers are welcomed to the shop to perform in folk/trad concerts. A strong emphasis is also placed on the use of the Irish language by Michael.
They have kindly donated a hamper containing:
- A tin whistle starter kit with CD and book: A tin whistle is a traditional Irish instrument. Many Irish people learn how to play while they are in school.
- An Irish song book with CD
- Another traditional Irish CD
- A Gaelic welcome sign
- A Siopa Ceoil fridge magnet
