It started in 2006 and each year there is always something there for folkies and non-folkies. It takes place over the last week of January, 27 – 31 in many venues around Dublin’s temple Bar which no doubt will be thronged by toursits for the duration.

There are also Childrens events, album launches, a Bob Dylan photo exhibition and performances by the likes of Duke Special, Stocktons Wing, Declan Sinnot culminating with two gala concerts which has Dick Gaughan on the last night
