For the Irish Spring Festival 2025, we have once again succeeded in putting together a good program mix, as it is the aim of this festival to show the audience in this country what is happening in the innovative Irish music scene on the one hand and to give space to the different styles on the other.
The renowned Northern Irish singer/songwriter duo Fil Campbell & Tom McFarland will mark the start of the 2025 event.
Their songs sometimes offer a somewhat "quirky" view of life and always invite you to sing along.
They have contemporary and traditional songs in their luggage and know how to interact with their audience.
4 Man Job are based in Glasgow and perform traditional Celtic music "without frills" (that's what they value).
Ciaran Ryan (tenor banjo), Dylan Cairns-Hawarth (fiddle), Luc McNally (bazouki, vocals) and Craig Baxter (bodhrán) are responsible for the sound experience.
Although still young, they already have many years of international stage experience and, we can promise you, they will do a brilliant job.
After so many men on stage, it's time for female musicians to demonstrate their skills to the audience again.
And with Cuas, we were able to win over a band that brings these skills to the stage in an extremely impressive way.
Méabh Ní Bheaglaoich (accordion, vocals), Nicole Ní Dhubhshláine (concertina, flute), Niamh Varian-Barry (violin, viola, vocals) and Kyle Macaulay (guitar, bouzouki), the only man in the band, dedicate themselves above all to the diverse musical tradition of West Kerry.
Rousing polkas and slides, thoughtful new compositions and traditional songs take center stage when these four virtuosos,
who are currently among the most promising musicians on the Emerald Isle (all of whom already have a considerable musical CV).
We are also very proud to have the outstanding Lenka Fairy as our dancer.
Lenka comes from the Czech Republic but has lived in Ireland for years.
After her first introduction to Irish step dancing, Lenka quickly developed a love for this unique dance style and a great interest in Irish culture. She began to learn Irish dancing and was soon taking part in international competitions. She eventually won the European Irish Dance Championships.
Lenka also took part in the World Irish Dance Championships six times and won trophies at countless competitions in Ireland and other European countries.
