Fleadh 2026 Belfast

[Milltown Row2]

I see the TUV are going to make next years fun..

"It is also worth mentioning that if concerns raised by Unionists are not addressed immediately then opposition to the Fleadh next year might just be a little more disruptive"

This off the back of a chip van playing the Celtic song
Some lads in a crowd singing up the ra
and the band that played Jim O'Neill and Robert Allsopp Memorial Band

Not sure the band was the best choice or allowing the Palestinian march go ahead, as best to keep things more cultured on Irish song dance.. But minor stuff in comparison to the 12th Parades for the past hundreds of years

They will and would find stuff that will offend them regardless but I hoping after next years Fleadh that it stays in the North again for another 2 years

I'll listen to him live! I was eating a burger on the steps of the cathedral and having discovered him a mere two days ago you couldn't miss his voice coming over the speaker from the square. Absolute magic.

He was on the radio with Mrs BC there that's why I was posting about listening to RnG!

You can see some media outlets just searching for controversy to shit stir and the likes of the tuv will love that.

Estimated 53+ million for the economy and they want to disrupt it. Wiser eating grass.

Went over and had a quick chat with him. Says he's nothing but a bluffer. Wish I could bluff like that. Lovely young fella and what a talent. He'll be in George's market tonight and then the competitions are on for him from tomorrow.

Ex Barcelona Gael producing for RnaG so got chatting to her as well. She reckons he's the next Christy Moore.

Granny and Granda, who are both pushing 80, in with us today and had a wonderful time.

Granda keen to get in again on Sunday even though we'll be gone (he'll need tomorrow to recover from the walking) to make sure he gets a prime spot for the Shankill Young Defenders at half two at City Hall.

I'm enjoying the classy TG4 coverage. How is this working  the Fleadh and Féile an Pobal happening simultaneously?  Have they merged events/some events or have both entities manage to have their own identity?
The Féile located in West Belfast and the Fleadh in other parts of Belfast

After this week you can only imagine what the Euro's could have been for Belfast.

It has been an amazing week and two days still to go!

Tim Edey and J.P. Cormier together was absolutely unbelievable.

Fella from Cross? Watched it last night and he was magical. A terrific interviewee as well.

"How do you balance farming with the time required to be so dedicated a musician?"

"Badly"

Presume that was Piaras Larkin?  Unreal singer and a lovely young lad. He did a song Sean Gabha with the RTÉ symphony orchestra a few weeks ago,  I would urge you to listen to it,  it's is mind blowing! 

Does he not sing  with Blath na hOige?  Nearly sure that's  the same lad

Brings a different type of person onto the streets fuelled by alcohol.

Separate events. Both unbelievable. Who would have thought years ago that we'd ever see this?

Absolutely brilliant.

Was going in to the Harp bar last night and heard someone say to the bouncers this is just like Glastonbury every day this week.

Have to say all the volunteers and organisers deserve alot of credit.
The public transport(pink buses so dunno what gliders/trains were like) to get out of town around half 10/11 bit of a sh**show but hopefully they learn lessons for next year.
