Tá An Droichead i ndiaidh clú a tharraingt air féin le bliain go leith anuas mar an príomh ionad ceoil thraidisiúnta
i ndeisceart Bhéal Feirste. Chuaigh an scéal sin ar fud Béal Feirste agus níos faide anonn; rud a chuidigh linn na
ceoltóirí ab fhearr i gcóngar agus i gcéin a mhealladh chuig an lárionad seo. Lóchranna ceiliúrtha atá sna
coirmeacha ceoil abhus anseo sa lárionad. Bíonn atmaisféar ar leith ann agus is minic cuairteoirí nua ag déanamh
tagairt dó ar theacht anseo den chéad uair agus sin ceann de na cúiseanna gur minic a bhíonn na seóanna díolta
amach. Tá a fhios ag idir thionscnóirí agus ealaíontóirí go mbeidh lán tí ann agus lucht éisteachta i láthair atá
eolach agus tuisceanach ar an cheol agus cuireann sin ar ár gcumas ealaíontóirí traidisiúnta den scoth a mhealladh
go deisceart Bhéal Feirste, mar atá Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Dermot Byrne de chuid Altan, Julie Fowlis, TólaCusty,
John Spillane, Alan Kelly,Tim Edey & Bríd Harper agus daoine eile nach iad.
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.
