Armagh will be alive from 15 to 18 November with the sounds of reeds, chanters and drones from all over the world as it celebrates the 25th anniversary of the William Kennedy Piping Festival. It will feature an incredible lineup.
One of the highlights of this year’s FolkEast Festival was Ushers Island whose lineup reads like an Irish traditional music hall of fame: Andy Irvine, Dónal Lunny, Paddy Glackin, Michael McGoldrick and John Doyle.
You only need to read through The Bothy Band history to realise how big they were. All the names are world famous now and there is no escaping that they changed the face of irish traditional music forever.
