Belfast TradFest returns for a Winter Weekend jam-packed full of traditional music, song and dance, with some of the best traditional musicians, singers & dancers from across these islands. Featuring a full programme of concerts, workshops, talks, sessions, céilís & festival club, it’s the only one of its kind in Northern Ireland and brings together both Irish and the Ulster-Scots musical traditions, in a shared celebration of culture & heritage.
In 1995 a young Bangor singer songwriter audaciously filled the Lyric Theatre. In the 30 years since, Iain Archer has won two Ivor Novello Awards for Run with Snow Patrol and Hold Back The River with James Bay, the latter being nominated for a Grammy.
Tonight three decades on Iain returns to the Lyric for a rare homecoming solo show that will highlight the songwriting skills that have led Liam Gallagher, Noah Kahan, Jake Bugg, Shania Twain and a host of others to ask him to write with them.
All seating will be unallocated and on a first come first served basis.
5 days of music focused fun for young peopled aged 11-17. Participants will learn to mix and make up something original using music industry standard equipment and software.
