July

Celtic Fusion

14 - 17 July 2011 | www.celticfusion.co.uk

Nestled between the spectacular Mourne Mountains and Slieve Croob is the market town of Castlewellan – and in July, it is the place to be for the finest traditional and Celtic
roots music.

Cross your fingers for sunshine, and head to concerts in the main square. Pull up a pew in a local pub and revel in free trad sessions. This atmospheric little town becomes a hub for all-things musical over four days.

Indulge in some of the local banter and enjoy headline acts – last year top billing was shared by Sharon Shannon, Eddi Reader and Mick Hanley with Artie McGlynn. It’s where Celtic arts and music fuse to make one unforgettable event.
