Welcome

2006 picsThe UK's internationally-renowned traditional Irish music, song and dance festival returns to Camden for its ninth year on Friday 19th October—featuring more top musicians, artists and teachers than ever before. For ten action-packed days, some of the top traditional players, singers and dancers from the UK, Ireland, and the US will entertain and teach in a full programme of concerts, céilís, workshops, sessions, and lectures for adults and children at all levels.

The 2007 Return to Camden Town Festival Magazine, packed full of articles, artist biographies, sheet music, and all of the event details, is now available from the Festival Hotline, at selected retail outlets, and during the Festival—and this year, it's FREE! (You may also download the Magazine here! Warning: 4.8 MB file!)

Come back regularly to the website to check for the most up-to-date details of concerts, céilís, pub sessions, music and dance workshops, venue information, and performer and teacher biographies.

For 2007, an amazing lineup includes Patrick Street, Brian Kelly, Collette O'Leary, Jamie Smith, Paddy Gallagher, Patrick O Dea, The Abbey Céilí Band, Brian Conway, Joe Burke, Felix Dolan, Mick Mulvey, Colman Connolly, Tola Custy, Le Chéile, The London Lasses and Pete Quinn, Téada, and many, many more!
