    Saturday night I attended the St. John’s concert of the 2023
    FĂ©ile SĂ©amus Creagh, and was absolutely blown away and
    even moved to tears by some of the tunes and songs.

    The festival web site is https://www.nltradfest.com/ where it says:

    "FĂ©ile SĂ©amus Creagh is a festival of Traditional Music, Song and Dance
    from Newfoundland and Ireland. It is held in memory of the late fiddle master Séamus Creagh. The festival features top performers, and indeed, tradition bearers from both the Newfoundland musical tradition, and its forebear, the Irish musical tradition.”

    It is an intimate indoor festival, and I suggest that you put it on
    your radar for 2024 and beyond.
