Ambassadors
Welcome to new Ambassadors in 2009
In 2009, we welcomed Dervla Murphy, the author of some 25 travel books, and Paddy Cole, who has made his name as a saxophone player since the 1960s, as Bealtaine Ambassadors.

“My generation of 60-year-olds and upwards... we're making our presence felt!"
In 2007, Age & Opportunity began inviting established older Irish artists to become Bealtaine Ambassadors. These are artists of the highest rank and reputation, working in diverse creative fields. A number have since taken a mentoring role among groups fostering creativity. The endorsement that our Ambassadors bring to the festival honours all older people who participate in Bealtaine.
The Bealtaine Ambassadors are:
