This week is Temple Bar Trad Fest and the streets of Temple Bar are going to be filled with the sound of pipe bands, ceili dancing, and even a parade! At The Ark we’re looking forward to presenting two special concerts this Saturday.

Traditional singers Maighread and Triona Ni Dhomhnaill,

Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh

and Moya Brennan

will be performing in a special concert at 2pm drawing on their wonderful store of songs from the Donegal Gaeltacht.


Then at 4pm we have a live traditional music concert with Fionnuar, winners of the prestigious Siansa Gael Linn competition in 2008. We’re really looking forward to hearing them perform in The Ark.

Both concerts are now sold out but there are still tickets available for The Giant Blue Hand, The Ark's exciting new theatre production which runs from 10 February to 22 March.
