For lovers of Irish music, but not registered for the weekend's tuition, there is still lots to join in with.
The showcase concert featuring each of the tutors is a highlight of the festival. There is a family fun ceili dance on the Saturday night for those who want to dance the night away.
The sessions are a great event to come along to, have a pint and hear some fantastic music.
