Performers will share their songs and the stories behind them, and will also come together in unique collaborations.

2020 was a year that saw many festivals fall by the wayside due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however TradFest actually got bigger and went global during this time by pivoting from live events to broadcasting high quality online shows and also getting involved in TV production employing artists, crews and entertaining audiences across the world while showcasing Dublin as a hub for musical talent.
