@RyanMcAleerbiz@nichola_daly The Fleadh in Derry was the most incredible experience, as a member of the bid team it was an absolute joy to hear the success of the bid announced. Donal O’Connor’s work on Belfast Tradfest has also transformed the potential for the City. 🤞

The great arts funding embarrassment

The new Stormont government must fund the arts properly. Surely @moneillsf & @little_pengelly can’t preside over a situation where funding for the arts is 5 times worse in NI than in ROI. Living north of the border is a huge disadvantage for artists. @ArtsCouncilNI@CArchibald_SF

‘Connecting the sound and spirit of punk with his traditional Irish roots, MacGowan created one of the most distinctive sounds of the past 40 years and we are delighted to present these songs with some of Ulster and Ireland’s finest traditional, folk and contemporary singers.’
‘Such a beautiful doc on Gael Linn on TG4, combining contemporary performances with the rich archival collections of the organisation. Not too many talking heads, just expertise and flowing tradition with songs and tunes played in full and given centre stage.’
