The Ulster Fleadh signals the conclusion to July’s musical festivals. Drama, concerts, ceilis and competitions
mean the Fleadh will appeal to people of all ages. There will be plenty of local talent, keep and eye out for
names which will re-appear again and again in future years on the traditional music scene.

Fleadh Uladh is organised by Newcastle Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, queries should be directed to them,
details of which will be posted on this website in the coming weeks.
