LONDON, UK, 20 June 2004, Finsbury Park
Fleadh Festival

             
     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.

     The Fleadh Cheoil, or "music festival" in English, is an annual Irish arts festival and competition run by Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, or CCÉ, a non-profit organisation which aims to promote the learning of and performance of Irish traditional music and dance internationally and domestically, as the group maintains international branches in several countries.

     In the 1990s 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.
