What a week. 💚 ☘️

Belfast came alive for the St. Patrick’s Music Festival as over 40,000 people joined us to celebrate the very best in traditional music, song and dance.

Across five unforgettable days, we welcomed 500+ incredible artists who delivered more than 80 hours of live performance across 30+ events, a true celebration of cross traditions music, song and dance. 

From powerful live concerts to unforgettable street performances (and yes… even a Trad Picnic 🎻 🧺 ), this year’s festival showcased the richness and diversity of our shared musical roots in ways that felt fresh, vibrant and truly world-class.

A heartfelt thank you to:
✨ All of our phenomenal artists
✨ Our partners and stakeholders
✨ Our funders and supporters
✨ And every single person who came out to be part of it

You made it what it was.

Now… we go again. 🎶

We’re already looking ahead to Belfast TradFest Summer School & Festival, running 26 July – 2 August, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another incredible celebration of traditional music.

The BBC released a list of their highest earning presenters, I thought it unfair that I do the same job (maybe a tiny bit better) in my own NOT humble opinion 🤣🙌🏼 (jokes)

So I wrote a song for my boss @stuartrobinsonshow to see if I could chance my arm…..💷💵💸💰🤑🤣👀
