Irish Folk Festival 24 – APOLDA – Stadthalle Apolda – 25.10.2024: Tickets kaufen – Badische Zeitung TICKET
The „Irish Folk Festival“ is known as one of the oldest yet freshest cultural events in Europe. This year’s tour motto is „Fair Play,“ featuring guests such as 3 on the Bund, Eva Coyle & Friends, ReelRhythm, and Tom Byrne. The highlight of the three-hour concert will be a lively festival session where all artists will come together on stage.
The tour name „Fair Play“ holds a fascinating double meaning in Irish slang, signifying „well done“ or „bravo.“ It also emphasizes the importance of respecting the rules of the game, highlighting the challenges faced by musicians in today’s digital age. With the decline in CD sales and the rise of music streaming, artists now receive less than 10% of the revenue, while multinational companies take the lion’s share of over 90%. The Irish Folk Festival aims to spark a discussion on the need for fairness in the music industry.
The program by the quintet 3 on the Bund showcases a blend of Irish tradition and world music, illustrating the global appeal of Irish music. Eva Coyle stands out with her unique vocal timbre, accompanied by a band that has crafted a distinct sound. ReelRhythm brings innovation to dance movements with their „step & tap dance extravaganza,“ featuring acclaimed dancers like Tyler Schwarz and Maddie Rae Russo. Tom Byrne’s harmonica skills have earned him the title of „Paganini of the harmonica,“ solidifying his reputation as a top male performer in the music industry.
As the Irish Folk Festival approaches, music enthusiasts can look forward to a captivating showcase of talent and a celebration of Irish culture. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable experience that promises to be a feast for the senses.
