This concert series is just one part of a series of TradFest events which are planned to take place over the coming months. While bringing great music to audiences at home TradFest is also conscious that it is vital to support artists and those in the industry at such a challenging time for live entertainment. TradFest, run by Scurlogstown man Martin Harte's Temple Bar Company, made possible by the businesses in Temple Bar in Dublin City's Centre. While this has been a really difficult year for many of those businesses too, they remain committed to TradFest and supporting artists.
