To start off, there will be afternoon coverage from the heart of the festival in Ulster University (York Street Campus, Belfast) on Monday and Tuesday with Dónall Mac Murchaidh and Edel Ní Churraoin. We’ll hear about events and concerts taking place during the festival. Listen live via the livestream on our website (www.raidiofailte.com) or on 107.1fm.

Live music sessions every day between 1pm and 3pm from Wednesday to Friday in ‘An Lonnán’, Raidió Fáilte’s events space on Divis Street.

On top of that, we’ll be broadcasting live from ‘An Lonnán’ to mark the official launches of 5 brand-new albums by musicians from far and wide. We’ll have live music from all the musicians during 5 programmes over a three-day period. Come and hear it for yourself with a wee drink and a bite to eat! Or, of course, listen to the whole thing live via the livestream on our website or on 107.1fm.

We’ll see you there!
