Here’s a reminder of St Patrick’s 2024!

And here’s a taster of the acts for 2025!

The one and only Declan Nerney!

Declan was born in the heart of Ireland in Drumlish Co Longford, at a unique period of time in the music scene worldwide. A revolution in rock and pop brought us The Beatles, Elvis, and the Rolling Stones, while in Ireland the magnificent showband boom was about to explode. Declan’s a toe tapping, jiving hit and we can’t wait for him to play the main stage.

Rake the Ashes

The superb vocals and musicianship of this ever popular band. If you don’t already love them, listen to the passion and emotion in this song and you’ll be their newest fan.

Young@Heart Choir

Come and sing along with our friends from the Young@Heart Dementia Choir. Guaranteed to lift your spirits. Video shows their brilliant performance of Country Roads at last summer’s Fiddles, Flutes & Cowboy Boots.

Missing The Ferry

It wouldn’t St Patrick’s without these guys! Come and see ‘the voice of the second generation’ at our After Party at the Hat Factory. With their blend of great covers and original songs, you’ll be up dancing and you’ll never want to be ‘Missing the Ferry’ as they’ll be playing locally throughout 2025.

Festival Fusion

Video features dancers from the Walshe Academy of Irish Dancing - who choreographed and danced this performance at St Patrick’s 2024.

Get your hands in the air! Make some noise Luton Irish! Festival Fusion returns with another high energy performance with Bhangra Smash Up, the Macanta Pipe Band and led by Daniel Coogan. Make sure to catch this act on our main stage.
