@BelfastTradF is animating and unifying the city. We have an opportunity to establish Belfast as an international hotbed for new approaches to cultural engagement and development and to imagine new ways of existing in our city. @ourbelfastmusic @UlsterUni @ArtsCouncilNI

Artistic Director Dónal O’Connor says, “Over the past seven years, Belfast TradFest has grown from a bold idea into a major celebration of traditional music, song, and dance that belongs to all of us — and to this brilliant city. From the cobbled streets of the Cathedral Quarter to the grandeur of the Ulster Hall, from late-night sessions to world-class concerts, Belfast TradFest is a meeting place — of generations, of cultures, and of hearts and minds.” @ATownNews @BelTel @LHannaway1 journalofmusic.com/listing/19-06-…

Only 6 weeks to go!

King of the Pipers Jig with Jason Turk, from his Seaboard Sundays series. Jason plays a ROLI Seaboard which sounds fantastic. A digital instrument with an analogue sound and feel. 🎹 I learned this jig from the great Donegal fiddler Tommy Peoples.
