FLEADH FESTIVAL 2004, London, Finsbury Park

Finsbury Park is an area on the northern edge of Inner London, England, which grew up around an important railway interchange near the borders of the Boroughs of Islington, Haringey and Hackney.

     In the 1990's the Fleadh Festival in Finsbury Park used to welcome only Irish artists such as Paul Brady, Christy Moore, The Dubliners and Mary Coughlan, and was topped by Celtic Soul touchstone Van Morrison. In 2004 it was more than usually dependent on its headliner, Bob Dylan. Here is the setlist:
