Title
Celtic Fusion - An International Musical Arts Festival
Description
The Celtic Fusion International Musical Arts Festival is more than just one day. It is a music festival infused with Celtic traditions comprising music, drama, art, and dance from around the globe. The main focus is music and with traditional music now taking many forms in regards to how it is interpreted, the festival in it’s essence presents many of these individual styles as well as traditional ones. With contemporary and traditional art forms and with national and international flavours, Celtic Fusion has events to suit the expert and the untrained, the purest and the progressive and the whole family or independent traveller. One of the festivals great strengths is the mix of local, national and international talents, giving the whole ten days great diversity.
The festival takes place over a ten day period and includes musical concerts, exhibitions, stand up comedy, drama and family fun entertainment. Celtic Fusion has the unusual ability to move between the towns in Down District with the key town being Castlewellan.
Over the past four years over 40 artists and their bands have performed at the festival in a wide range of venues across Castlewellan, Newcastle, Downpatrick, Ballynahinch and Saintfield. The Fusion Awards in 2005 commemorated artists who had previously performed at the festival. Voted by the public Frances Black won the Best Overall Artist award.
