Liverpool Irish Festival Starts Today!

It has to be one of my favourite local festivals this one. Liverpool’s Irish Festival begins today with a stunning programme of events.

There’s too much to detail here but the highlights are Christy Moore, Andy Irvine, Brian Kennedy, The Irish Sea Sessions, Damien Dempsey with Amsterdam, and TV comic Dara O Briain.

Full event details are here

Two years ago this wonderful festival was the reason I ended up writing my song The Limerick Soviet, of which I knew nothing up until that point, so I’m forever thankful to it.
