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

An Chultúrlann on its three floors, contains space for artistic and theatrical expression, a café, a tourist information office, community radio and the north’s largest dedicated Irish Language and media book and gift shop. An Chultúrlann is the jewel in the crown of Belfast’s emerging Gaeltacht Quarter.
Live traditional and contemporary music sessions, poetry readings, céilís, concerts, workshops and the children’s arts programme are just some of the reasons why An Chultúrlann is recognised as the Belfast Irish Experience. An Chultúrlann continues cultural traditions and develops them further through classes, workshops and performance.
