Leading artists from across the Festival programme (including the likes of Martin Hayes, Aoife Ní Bhriain and Colin Dunne) embed themselves in locations around the city, offering mini performances for individuals or small groups (up to six people). As concerts go, this is as intimate as it gets, and you won’t know who you’re going to meet or what they might play! Places are extremely limited so be sure to book early.
