Kate Rusby is one of the best-loved voices in English folk music and we can't wait to see her at St. Patrick's Cathedral on January 21st 🎶

Across a career spanning more than 25 years and over 20 albums, Kate has interpreted traditional song and written originals with equal warmth, earning her the affectionate title of the Barnsley Nightingale.

I am so excited to be performing at TradFest this January in the beautiful Swords Castle ❤️⚔️🏰
I recently completed a residency in the Carnegie, just beside Swords Castle, on ghost stories and folklore of Fingal, so I look forward to performing some of those pieces on the night 👻

Aoife Scott's Women of Note ✨

A core memory for those who have joined before, a recurring 'favourite' passionately shared by our trad fam and an experience to be had by those who have yet to join us 💚

Presented and curated by friend of TradFest and recent newlywed, Aoife Scott returns in January 2027

This year, the late, great Moya Brennan was among the line up to grace the St Patrick's Cathedral stage, where important and magical memories were made that rainy evening, thanks to Aoife 🫶
