Belfast TradFest are thrilled to present Irish music legends, Stockton’s Wing and one of Ireland’s most accomplished songwriters, John Spillane in the MAC this St Patrick’s Day.

Stockton's Wing is one of Ireland's most exciting live bands, their shows are filled with energy, passion and an incredible sense of fun.

With Paul Roche's wild and haunting flutes and whistles, Mike Hanrahan's passionate, thought-provoking songwriting and articulate guitar playing, they have got the energy and enthusiasm of a young band, backed up by the experience and talent of some of Ireland's finest musicians in Karol Lynch on banjo and mandolin, Tara Breen on fiddle and Paul McSherry on guitar.

Rooted in people, place and story, John Spillane’s music and live performances captivate audiences around the world. His vocal style has a unique almost sean-nós like quality and his performances shimmer with the magic realism that permeates many of his songs as he effortlessly flits between beautiful poetry tinged with melancholy to roguish, irreverent humour.

As one of Ireland’s most accomplished songwriters, John can charm, mesmerise and entertain in equal measure.
