Fleadh cancelled!

The Mean Fiddler Group have cancelled this year's Fleadh Festival in London's Finsbury Park.
According to Fiddler MD Melvin Benn: "We just haven't seen a headliner out there to build a festival around in a manner that we'd be pleased with."
Launched in 1990, the Fleadh has played host to such major Irish acts as Van Morrison, Christy Moore and The Pogues and honorary Celts like Joe Strummer and Neil Young.
Benn insists that the all-dayer will be back, though.
"There's a lot of Irish talent bubbling under, a lot of extremely good, solid Irish stuff," he says citing Damien Rice as one "star" in the making. "But it's the headliners we were short of and worried about."
