Irish folk music school fighting closure after 30 years
The Francis McPeake School Of Music
in Belfast has been renowned for tutoring children in traditional Irish instruments since 1977. It's played a vital role in promoting and nurturing Irish folk music for future generations - regardless of their ability.
However, the school now faces closure after losing its funding - but you can help save it.
The school has devised a great idea to raise funds. The
Mystery Mosaic Campaign
features a mosaic made up of 3000 tiles to be purchased by music fans, businesses and individuals. You can have your company or a personal logo on your tile too - or a tile will be created for them. The tile on the homepage can also link directly to your website. Once the mosaic is completed, the finished design will appear on the homepage of francismcpeake.com, a physical representation of the completed mosaic will have a civic unveiling in a public venue and ultimately it will feature on the new CD cover of the Francis McPeake School of Music.
