Waterford musicians to feature on TG4 programme celebrating Fleadh 2025

The Fleadh Cheoil is back and TG4 will features performers from Waterford and across Ireland next week.

For the time ever the world’s largest festival of Irish music, song and dance will be held in Wexford town. For eight days the streets will be bustling with performers, music lovers and those competing at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.

To compete at the All-Ireland finals in Wexford, one must first qualify through their province. Over the course of this one-hour programme presenters Doireann Ní Ghlacáin and Peadar Ó Goill will travel the highways and byways, taking viewers on a trip across the four provincial finals in Ballinasloe, Drogheda, Cork city and Warrenpoint to catch up with some of our top and emerging musical talent.
