Kick up your heels in Dublin

Looking for a break that includes a big song and dance for all? Try visiting Dublin for its annual Temple Bar Trad, Irish Music and Culture Festival.

This event sees new and established artists perform an array of traditional and modern Irish music, including jigs, reels and more throughout the city between January 25th and 28th.

As well as daytime and evening events in pubs, bars and music venues across Dublin, the festival features late night ceilidhs for those with the energy to dance well into the night.

In addition, budding and experienced musicians can take in a number of workshops and lessons in instruments such as fiddles, accordions and banjos.

With the forthcoming festival expecting to bring the likes of Lunasa, Dervish, Peter Horan and many more to the city of Dublin, both first-timers and fans of Irish music will find plenty to delight throughout the weekend.
