Adding to other acts already named at the end of May such as Conleth Mcgeary. All compared by the great Jack Lukeman.”

Singer Conleth Mcgeary added: “I am absolutely buzzing to be playing this event. Some of the biggest names in Irish music, all under one roof for a full day is going to be madness. I’m over the moon to be joining these guys in my newly adopted home city of Liverpool.”

Grand Central Liverpool caters for everyone’s taste in the Food Bazaar. Seven themed bars, including a rum bar, an Irish bar and a cocktail bar and a whole host of independent food vendors make up this brilliant dining concept that has proven to be hugely popular.
