Welcome to the 23rd Hall of Fame
Mairtin O'Connor
Throughout the years the presentation of the Hall of Fame Award has been one of the highlights of our annual festival. It is not an honour bestowed lightly, as a brief glance at the list of previous recipients will indicate. It is an award presented to an outstanding individual or group in recognition of their lifetime contribution to the cause of Irish Music and Culture.
The 2009 award goes to Mairtin O'Connor.
