An Urban Fleadh is a free two day Festival of Irish Traditional music with a world mix, taking place in Wolfe Tone Square on the August Bank Holiday weekend every year. Formally part of the North Side Music Festival, the Fleadh has carved out its own niche offering the best of Irish Trad Fusion and public access. This year will see two full days of Music and experience featuring musicians from Germany, France, the Netherlands, England and beyond.

Also featured this year is the Bodhrán Blitz, where anyone can learn to play the Bodhrán in under ten minutes, Irish Sean-nos Dancing and signing, A Céilí Band, Classic, funk, folk and Jazz music mixes, as well as special overseas guests to be announced.

Don't miss the An Urban Fleadh, and a chance to "dance at the cross roads", plus the very best in real Irish music with a global mix.
