Supported by the Mid Ulster Council and Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, this competitive event at The Brantry Bard Cultural Centre, near Dungannon, County Tyrone, will see a series of concerts each evening followed by music sessions.

The evening of Saturday August 1st sees the debut of new Irish band, Breaking Trad (pictured), who recently launched their self-titled debut album to huge critical acclaim. The band is made up of Dónal Murphy (accordion), a winner of numerous All-Ireland titles on both button accordion and melodeon, Niall Murphy (fiddle), and multi-instrumentalist Mike Galvin who has vast experience working in a wide range of musical styles from Rock and Roll to Irish Trad. Breaking Trad will be supported by 2008 All Ireland Senior Accordion Fleadh Cheoil winner Darren Breslin, a native of Lisnaskea, Co. Fermanagh. Also on the Saturday there will be Traditional Music Classes, which include accordion tuition by Dermot Byrne and Sean Og Graham. |
