Over the past year and a half An Droichead has quickly and professionally established itself as the premier<br />
traditional music venue in South Belfast. Moreover, this is a reputation that has travelled throughout Belfast and<br />

knowledgeable audience enables us to attract the cream of traditional artists to south Belfast e.g. Maireád Ní<br />
Mhaonaigh of Altan , Julie Fowlis,Tóla Custy, John Spillane, Alan Kelly to name but a few

Gael Linn was founded in 1953 and has been known since then as an entrepreneurial organisation. The main aim of the organisation is to foster and promote the Irish language and its heritage throughout Ireland as a living language and as an expression of identity at policy and at community level.

The Gael Linn programme can be divided into three broad categories; education, language promotional schemes and business.
