Slainte! 31 amazing pictures from when the Fleadh came to Derry in 2013
It’s hard to believe it was 10 years ago in August this year that Derry hosted the biggest and best ever All-Ireland Fleadh.
The city was awash with music, craic and colour over the week-long Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann celebration of Irish culture – the largest of its kind in the world – and attracting visitors from across the world during Derry’s City of Culture Year back in 2013.
Here’s hoping it returns soon. Slainte!
