FESTIVAL FUN AS SUN BEAMS DOWN ON LIVERPOOL WATERFRONT Liverpool welcomed the first Feis festival to the city’s world heritage waterfront where visitors enjoyed a packed programme of music across three stages. Forming part of the Liverpool 2018 events programme which marks the tenth anniversary of European Capital of Culture, the event celebrated Liverpool’s unique Irish heritage. Some of the biggest names in Irish music, both contemporary and traditional, created a true celebration of Irish culture and attracted visitors from as far away as the USA. The line-up included Van Morrison, The Chieftains, Imelda May, The Hothouse Flowers and a range of other bands, musicians and dancers who together created an electric atmosphere on a day to remember. Plans are already in place to create another Feis event in summer next year. www.feis1.com 84 wirrallife.com
