The second annual festival will take place on February 24-26
Jam-packed with concerts, workshops, sessions, walks and talks Belfast TradFest’s Winter Weekend is set to return for a second year.
"As a UNESCO City of Music, Belfast is now recognised right across the world for our unique and diverse music and cultural scene, and of course traditional music is a central part of that. Founding member of Dé Dannan and fiddle maestro Frankie Gavin will play the festival closing concert in the Empire Music Hall on a double bill with Armagh native but now Manchester-based singer and flautist Ríoghnach Connolly of the Afro Celt Sound System.
"It’s important that we support the ecosystem of musicians and music here and Belfast TradFest continues this work with our 2nd annual Winter Weekend. The new Ulster University building on York Street will host workshops covering all instruments from bodhrán to bouzouki and smallpipes to singing.
