A fantastic evening of sean-nos singing was enjoyed on Saturday night at the Corn Cuimhneacháin Éamoinn Ghráinne 2018 in Falcarragh.
The annual competition in An tSean Bheairic was held in memory of the late singer and musician Éamonn Ghráinne Mac Ruairí of Tory Island and Falcarragh.
Diane Ní Channain from Belfast was the overall winner, with many prizes awarded to singers of all ages in various categories on the night, including Donegal Rose Niamh Duggan.
