TradFest

Filmed in Malahide Castle in Fingal, Ireland, during the TradFest music festival, TRADFEST: THE FINGAL SESSIONS takes viewers on an Irish musical journey through intimate performances and conversation with the musicians. The program is inspired by the festival motto: "Trad without Frontiers." Host Fiachna O Braonain breaks musical bread with his guests and uses traditional Irish music as a starting point that leads to many places, including folk, alt-folk, jazz, and even some hip-hop, delighting purists and curious listeners alike.
