The Big Hooley (with Amaidí and Beeswing)

The Big Hooley is where the festival erupts into a full‑scale Irish celebration - a night of wild tunes, flying feet, and unstoppable energy.

Amaidí ignite the room with their explosive neo‑trad sound - a fast‑paced fusion of Irish, Scottish, and Australian traditions delivered with boy‑band charisma and irresistible rhythm. Their modern twist on classic tunes, infectious energy, and boundary‑breaking style leave a lasting impression with every audience they meet.

Beeswing are a hand‑picked ensemble of exceptional musicians who bring colour, character, and pure Irish joy to every stage they touch. With standout performers like Fiona Rea, Brett Hardwick, Val Cutler, Riley Murphy and Marcus Perrozzi, Beeswing deliver a vibrant Irish-folk spectacle filled with masterful playing and upbeat spirit.

As the night builds, an Irish ceilidh will begin to unfold. All are welcome (and encouraged) to let loose and join in!
