No Bid Yet To Bring Fleadh Back To Derry

Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the city in August 2013 for the music festival, held during the City of Culture celebrations, which generated £42 million over its eight days.

The most recent Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann recently came to a close in Ennis, County Clare, which also hosted the event in 2016.

Derry hosted the largest ever Fleadh to date in 2013 during the City of Culture celebrations, where 430,000 people flocked to the city.

The Derry Fleadh was the largest and most successful in its 60-year history. It also marked the first time the All-Ireland Fleadh had been staged in the north.

Speaking at the climax of the Derry Fleadh, Labhrás Ó Múrchu, Director General of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, the group which organises the massive annual event, said he had ‘no doubt’ that the Fleadh would return to Derry within the next few years.

Sligo then hosted the Fleadth in 2014 and 2015.
