We trawled
the archives for standout folk footage and arrived right back
in Belfast with these two great curios;
Belfast Folk Festival 1985 – celebrating
the glory days of the late, lamented Belfast Folk Festival
this film captures many of the key players including Paul
Brady, Maura O’Connell, Seamus Tansey and the great Loudon
Wainwright.
Songs of Resistance – Filmed in the early
80’s,some of our finest singers and songwriters including
Fergus O’Hare, Brian Moore, Joe Mulheron et al are captured
in fine voice commemorating workers’ struggles across the
world. Thanks to Geoff Harden for the footage. Any copyright
queries, see Geoff!
The screenings are followed by the great Lagan Fleadh institution,
the Sunday Singing Session hosted inevitably
and inimitably by the aforementioned Joe Mulheron.
Admission free.
