Covid-19 has forced one of the most celebrated gatherings of traditional Irish song to gather online this year. The 15th Frank Harte Festival - September 25-27 - is this year taking to Zoom and Youtube, as well as making the entire weekend programme free for all to enjoy. Host to a wide array of traditional Irish singing, anyone interested in the lore and tradition of unaccompanied singing will be glued to their screens for the three days.
