Over the past year and a half An Droichead has quickly and professionally established itself as the premier
traditional music venue in South Belfast. Moreover, this is a reputation that has travelled throughout Belfast and
beyond; one which has granted us access to the very finest of international and local traditional music talent.
Concert nights are a beacon of musical celebration here at the Lárionad. The atmosphere is always commented
upon by our first time visitors, and is one of the reasons that our concert nights are now regularly sold out. The
fact that promoters and artists alike are aware that they will play to a full house and to an appreciative and
knowledgeable audience enables us to attract the cream of traditional artists to south Belfast e.g. Maireád Ní
Mhaonaigh of Altan , Julie Fowlis,Tóla Custy, John Spillane, Alan Kelly to name but a few

Seachtain na Gaeilge is a non-profit organisation, which promotes the use of Irish language and culture both at home and abroad within a two-week festival held in March every year, and this year took place between the 2nd - 17th March 2009. The festival has built up incredible momentum in recent years, becoming the largest celebration of our native language and culture held in Ireland every year and sweeping other countries up in the whirlwind along the way. With events ranging from simple conversational evenings to street céilís; speed dating to wine tasting it gives everyone a chance to experiment with Irish whether fluent from youth or only dipping their toe in for the first time. Organisations, local councils, schools, libraries, music, sporting & cultural bodies all register their Seachtain na Gaeilge events with us.

Inspiring and engaging, entertaining and informing, nós* is an exciting and innovative new addition to the Irish language mediascape.
