Tending the Flame: On The Road to Justice and Reparations 

Join us as we welcome our guest artists and light the fire and tend the flame for Misleór 2025. This year, we remember with love and gratitude our dear friend Tom McDonnell, who passed away earlier this year. Tom was a master craftsman and gifted tinsmith whose skill and artistry left a lasting impression on all who saw his work. He was an intrinsic part of the Misleór Festival, participating every year and he is deeply missed. His presence and legacy continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Stories and Songs of the Road vol 2

A follow-up project to Stories and Songsof the Road Vol. 1: this event revisits a

cassette tape made in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, capturing vibrant insights and performances by members of the local Traveller community in Galway. Presented in partnership with the Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA), this event will also feature a discussion with family members of those featured on the cassette, and will launch its release online as part of the ITMA Collections.
