Caoimhe Ceol Ní Chathail, Caoimhe Ní Chathail, and Fearghal Mag Uiginn host a spectacular live celebration of music and culture, showcasing the very best of Belfast’s rich traditional music scene from Oireachtas na Samhna 2025. The vibrant sounds of traditional Irish music will echo through the Europa Hotel’s historic piano bar as Blas Ceoil takes centre stage with performances from the family band Clann Mhic Corraidh and singer-songwriter Gráinne Holland. And Brendan Quinn, Ciara Maguire and Francis McIlduff pack a punch with dizzying reels and punchy jigs. County Louth fiddler, Dónal O'Connor and his daughter Doireann, pair up for an exclusive performance at the baby grand piano before South Armagh led band, The Railway Boys, finish off the programme in style. Meanwhile, Fearghal keeps listeners up to date with all the excitement unfolding at the Waterfront Hall Belfast, as Gaels descend on the city to celebrate the enduring legacy of Irish music and heritage at the festival.
