‘Trad for Trocaire’ returns to Co. Tyrone
During Trad for Trócaire week, trad musicians, music fans and venues hold traditional Irish music sessions in aid of Trócaire’s work across the developing world. The campaign celebrates two great aspects of local culture – our deep musical heritage and our history of goodwill towards people living in extreme hardship in poor countries.
Eithne McNulty, Trócaire’s director in Northern Ireland, said: “Over the last five years, trad musicians across Co. Tyrone have embraced Trad for Trócaire, by coming together and sharing their talent and music to reach out to people living in great need. We have been inspired by the warm welcome we have received from Ireland’s trad musicians.
