Over the coming months to get you ‘fleadh ready’ were taking a look at the biggest win at each fleadh over the last seven years. This week is 2014 and it was a historic year for Mullaghduff, though sadly this was their last All Ireland win.
The Mullaghduff Flute Band from West Donegal created history in Sligo town that weekend after picking up the title of All Ireland Senior Flute Champions for the 9th year in a row.
Never before has this feat been achieved by any band out of all the sections at an All Ireland Fleadh Ceoil. This is also the 14th time the band has won the All Ireland Fleadh Ceoil since the first time they went to the Fleadh in 1991.
As Marching Bands around the county slowly disappear from our areas, The Mullaghduff Band tradition continues to march on through the years.
This band was started 25 years ago follows the “old” Mullaghduff band which has been in Mullaghduff for over 100 years.
Every year there are more difficulties with getting the band ready for competitions but with the help of the committee, parents and the local and surrounding areas the band continues to represent its community with pride and presence.
