Fleadh Folk
A celebration of Ulster’s shared musical roots, where traditional Irish, Ulster-Scots and contemporary folk artists come together.
Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann comes to Belfast for the very first time in 2026.
Fleadh Folk celebrates Ulster’s shared musical roots, where traditional Irish, Ulster-Scots and contemporary folk artists come together to celebrate music across traditions, generations and languages.
From the Lambeg and bodhrán rhythms to fiddle tunes, pipes and song and dance, artists and musicians join forces and collaborate in a concert at the Mandela Hall in Belfast, hosted by Jane Rea and John Toal.
Featured artists include the Blackwater Céilí Band with Andy McGregor and friends, the Reuben Agnew Trio, the McKenna Family, Gino Lupari, Dermot Byrne and Stevie Dunne, and a performance by Foy Vance recorded especially for the programme.
Tá Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann ag teacht go Béal Feirste den chéad uair riamh in 2026.
Sa chlár speisialta seo, déantar ceol comhroinnte chúige Uladh a cheiliúradh mar a thagann ceoltóirí agus amhránaithe traidisiúnta Gaelacha, Ultaise agus ceol tíre comhaimseartha le chéile chun saibhreas na dtraidisiún, na nglún agus na dteangacha a léiriú.
Ó rithimí an Lambeg agus an bhodhráin go foinn na fidle, na bpíob, an damhsa agus na n-amhrán, cuireann Jane Rea agus John Toal ceolchoirm chorraitheach inár láthair insan Mandela Hall i mBéal Feirste.
Áirítear an Blackwater Céilí Band le Andy McGregor and Friends, the Reuben Agnew Trio, the McKenna Family, Gino Lupari, Dermot Byrne agus Stevie Dunne i measc na gceoltóirí ar an ardán, agus cluinfear taifeadadh speisialta le Foy Vance.
