From fiddles to flutes and banjos to bodhráns, some of the very best traditional Irish musicians from across the country will get the capital hopping for this year’s TradFest.

Bypassers on Dublin’s O’Connell Street this morning added an extra Irish cultural string to their bow as they happened upon an impromptu celebratory céilí outside the sun-soaked GPO.
