Traditional Music

August 4, 2010 to August 10, 2010.
One of the premier traditional music festivals in Ireland, Feakle always has an excellent line up and is a very friendly festival, with lots of local participation.

As well as music there is dancing, storytelling, a ceilí and the tours of the local area, which is worth visiting in its own right.

April 6, 2010 to April 11, 2010.
An annual event which takes place in Donegal celebrating the music and culture of six Celtic nations – Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Brittany and Ireland.

It is primarily a competitive event, but there are also concerts and enough varied sessions to keep anyone with an interest in Celtic music very happy.

January 22, 2011 to January 26, 2011.
Traditional music takes Dublin over at the end of January for this festival that celebrates the music session. Most of the events are free, and there are special events for children.

The Tradfest has grown annually from small beginings and now, in its ninth year, literally hundreds of musicians will take part.

January 22, 2011 to January 24, 2011.
Based in Tralee in Co Kerry and in 2009 centered around the Ballyroe Heights Hotel, the Shindig Festival features great Irish music, singing and storytelling and gives a central place to set dancing and Sean-Nós dancing.

As well as ceilis each night, and lots of music, there are also singing and dancing workshops where you can hone your skills!
