Éamonn de Cógáin
Co. Cork, Ireland via San Diego, CA
Éamonn de Cógáin is widely regarded as Ireland's most energetic MC. He has called céilís far and wide across the Emerald Isle and is now devolping a name for himself stateside.
Éamonn is one of the chief organisers of Damhsafest, The Cork International Folk Dance Festival and was once again MC at it's Gala Event, the Dance Extravaganza in Cork City Hall. This past summer he has orchastrated locals and tourist alike at The Flying Enterprize Complex in his native Cork, where thousands have learned the basic steps and movements of Irish Ceili Dancing. His smooth Brog and easy going nature allows people of all ages to believe that they can Ceili dance the night away without difficulty.
The return to Mississippi was an easy choice for both CelticFest organizers and Éamonn himself as he enjoy the Festival so much last year! Éamonn looks forward to seeing you all at his workshops and especially at the Saturday Night Céilí Mór.
