The annual Edward Bunting Harp Festival, organised by Patricia Daly of Armagh Harpers' Association, celebrates the life and work of Armagh born Edward Bunting, 1773 – 1843, and now ranks amongst top international harp festivals. Its primary focus is on the music of the ancient harping tradition and Irish traditional music and song. Today it attracts students from all over the world. A challenging weekend programme of workshops, recitals, concerts and sessions offers an opportunity to gain a better understanding of Irish harp music and song, as well as developing the skills and repertoire for players of all standards.
