The programme for the 8th Belfast Cathedral Quarter Festival which runs from 26th-30th September is out now and it promises to be a right good few days of fun, with a mixture of Irish and American folk artists dominating the bill and there’s a chili food festival running alongside the music to get you into the Cajun spirit.

At First Light, Tim O’Brien, Arty McGlynn and Mozaik are just some of the names to conjure with. A new film “Donal Lunny Follow the Music” by Nuala O’Connor will be shown at the John Hewitt on Wednesday 26th September. More information at www.openhouse festival.com
