Each year, the Festival brings people together from all over the world - both performers and audience members - for a weekend of tratitional music. Over the years, the weekend has played host to a fantastic selection of concerts, showcases, workshops and sessions that have shown off the very best musicians in the traditional music scene. To this day the festival continues to inspire thousands of people to enjoy and take part in traditional music each year.
