Since 2007 the Carrickmacross Branch of Comhaltas have organised a traditional music festival in honour of the 19th century harper Patrick Byrne. The festival is held each year on the Palm Sunday weekend and takes place in and around the town of Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan.
We are very excited about this year’s festival as we welcome Garadice, Gerry O’Connor and Gilles le Bigot, and Dave Flynn conducting the Oriel Traditional Orchestra in the World premiere of a new suite of music inspired by the Oriel region and the harper Patrick Byrne. The full programme can be found at https://feilepatrickbyrne.ie/.
