Musical Breeze
Musical Breeze aimed to develop stronger links between Gweedore and Broughshane through a joint youth project, incorporating musical, artistic, linguistic and cultural activities. This project provided a greater understanding and appreciation of each other’s culture and traditions, thus building stronger bonds of peace and reconciliation between the communities through various activities, in particular exploring and developing music talents. It involved acquiring state of the art musical recording equipment, setting up a programme of events and workshops between both communities and allowing the young people to fully immerse themselves in each other’s musical heritage. This allowed them to discover songs, music and traditions that play a vital part in both communities. The programme also incorporated a number of exchange residential visits that brought young people and musicians from Broughshane to Donegal and vice versa to produce and perform musical concerts and ultimately the compilation of a CD.
