What's On

St Patrick’s Shindig
Market Square

Friday 14th March | 6.30pm | £10

Armagh is set to rock on St Patrick’s weekend, with a superb and totally live open-air concert featuring an electrifying line-up.  Cavan band, The High Stool Prophets will make a welcome return to Armagh after blazing a trail on the Irish folk scene with a string of sold-out shows, TV appearances and new music releases.  Pure Blarney is a vibrant Irish folk and traditional band featuring a dynamic mix of vocals, alongside acoustic, electric & bass guitars, fiddle, whistles, pipes and drums. Their diverse lineup creates a rich, full sound that brings both original compositions and lively renditions of traditional and contemporary songs to life.  The Reillys, motivated by their viral videos in Ireland's most beautiful spots on Instagram, have begun to release their music one single at a time. The Belfast based folk band were selected to play at Electric Picnic in their first year and have gone on to play hundreds of gigs.
