Although a relative newcomeer to the scene, the festival has gone from strength to strength, and has become a must for those who like down home Blues, Roots and Brass music.

This year’s lineup includes; Bronagh Gallagher and her band, highly rated blues guitarist Mike Brookfield and his band, local blues legends The Mary Stokes Band, Australia’s Ukulele Death Squad, Catfish Blues Orchestra, US band The 502’s and more.

The Dublin Blues, Roots and Brass Festival is an annual event, which takes place in the iconic Whelan’s on Wexford Street, in the Camden Quarter district of the city, and is supported by the good people at O’Hara’s Irish Craft Beer.
