A virtual Fleadh Cheoil is getting underway today in Sligo.
Fleadhfest runs from August 1st to 9th and the event consists of concerts, sessions, competitions, recitals, live performances as well as online streaming.
Sligo was chosen as the host town previously for the Fleadh Cheoil on five occasions; in 1989, 1990, 1991, 2014 and 2015.
All content will be streamed free throughout the nine day festival available across Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann website and social media sites as well on TG4.
Sligo County Council are advising motorists that The Lungy Road in Sligo Town will be closed from its junction with Temple St. to its junction with Church St. today (Sunday) and tomorrow (Monday) as well as on Thursday the 5th through to Sunday the 8th of August.
Bartley Gavin is one of the organisers and gives an idea of what people can expect.
