Dervish – Icons of Irish music
We’re thrilled to welcome one of the biggest names in Irish music: Dervish features some of Ireland’s finest traditional musicians, fronted by one of the country’s best-known singers, Cathy Jordan.
Dallahan – “The flying aces of Celtic folk”
This dynamic quartet mixes storytelling with virtuoso accordion, banjo, guitar, and fiddle playing and delivers an irresistible blend of Scottish, Irish, and world music.
Kasai Masai – dance grooves Cogolese style
Get ready to dance to this intriguing blend of Congolese folk music and soukous dance rhythms – which, we’re told, are like a fast rhumba!
The Melrose Quartet – uplifting four-part harmonies and strong instrumentals
This Sheffield-based quartet merges traditional high-energy dance tunes with modern, politically-aware songwriting.
This is just a taster – there’s much, much more to enjoy!
We’ll be providing full details about all the brilliant musicians performing at the 2026 Priddy Folk Festival soon.
In the meantime, check out our Festival poster for more about the acts we’re welcoming this July.
