In June of 2015, Patch Glennan competed in a North American competition for Irish Traditional Music. As a result of coming in second place, he qualified to go to Ireland to compete in the Ireland Championships, called Fleadh Ceol.

 

In August of this year, Patch set out with his father Bob to Ireland for two weeks. During his trip he experienced new friendships and stories and many other travel related encounters. The Fleadh

Ceol is a week long event held once a year and brings the best musicians from around the world to compete. This year the event was held in a town called Sligo, known for great Irish Traditional musicians throughout. One of the main goals of this trip was to attend a music school, taught by the masters of Irish Traditional Music, for which Patch had earned a scholarship. During the school week, Patch was selected by the instructors to be interviewed by a radio host from RTE radio in Ireland. He was also asked to join in a show production that featured the story and music of a famed Irish musician that had emigrated to America. That musician, James Morrison, born in 1891 near Sligo, is considered one of the main reasons Irish Traditional Music is heard in America today.
