Music
We’re starting with a stunning trad session to get your Culture Night off on the right foot. Lifelong devotees to Irish trad, uilleann piper Liam Winnett and fiddle player Brian Crehan will be taking us through a set that’s sure to give ‘Europe Expressed’ the launch it deserves.
From there, hot off the back of unforgettable sets at Electric Picnic and All Together Now, Dublin-based African Irish DJ, Blkcnvs, will be providing the soundtrack to Europe Expressed this Culture Night.
Art and Design
Featured in prominent Dublin stores, including Om Diva and Bow & Pearl, and worn by notable Irish artists such as CMAT and Pippa Malony check out textile artist and fashion designer Lucy Folan as she displays her work right here on Fitzwilliam St.
