Nollaig na mBan Festival invites you to a fabulous evening of blues music from the Mary Stokes Trio followed by rising star Muireann Bradley. Mary Stokes and her exceptional band have been at the vanguard of Irish Blues music for several decades, with an international reputation as a powerful live act who have performed with greats such as BB King and Bo Diddley. The band's album 'Comin Home' (2021) was voted Independent Blues Album of the Year by the prestigious international Blues and Roots Radio. For Nollaig na mBan, Mary, her partner Brian Palm on harmonica and guitarist Sarah Michelle will perform as an acoustic trio.
On her participation, Mary says,  “I grew up in Dublin, part of a big family where Christmas was busy and full of excitement. We always marked ‘little Christmas’, Nollaig Na mBan, as an end to the season with a quieter celebration, the last of the ‘pud’ and Christmas cake shared, recognizing that “the Christmas” was over for that year and that the women could relax, have a cuppa and a bit of cake in peace as we awaited the start of Spring. This year, I look forward to celebrating Nollaig na mBan in my community by performing live with some of my band members in St. Columba’s Church, North Strand, Dublin.  Country blues prodigy Muireann Bradley from Ballybofey, Co. Donegal will play an exclusive set drawn from her debut album, I Kept These Old Blues. Muireann rose to fame after she appeared on Jools' Annual Hootenanny on 31 December 2023 and recently played a headline gig in iconic Dublin venue, Vicar Street. She will join us for Nollaig na mBan to perform songs originally recorded by the great blues women and men from the 1920s onwards. Of this annual celebration, Muireann says,  When I was child we usually went to my grandmother's for Christmas dinner; her house was full and she never sat down. But after Christmas on Nollaig na mBan she would declare it was her day off and she would go out with her sister and the women she grew up with. More often than not one of the group would host a party in their own house and I remember when I was about eight years old, it was my grandmother's turn and my mother brought me to the house. My grandad had wisely taken himself off and the kitchen was full of chattering and laughing women, my own grandmother being one of the loudest! It is a very happy memory for me.

Wow! Just incredible. Where else will you have the chance to see 800 year-old mummies perfectly preserved in a crypt? The church is nice as well, less elaborate than something like St. Patrick&#39;s, but worth taking a peek inside. Had a wonderful tour guide and really nice staff. Tickets are not too expensive and there is a student discount!

It was very good. I drank a pint of beer on the top floor without even paying for peanuts. It was different from the previous brewery tour in Boston, except that I could enter the workshop.

The most worthwhile attraction in Dublin, there are three worthwhile attractions: the first is the Book of Kells, which is the national treasure of Ireland, but you must listen to the audio guide, otherwise you will not understand the preciousness of this scripture; the second is the library gallery, which is the filming location of the Harry Potter movie, and it is also very quaint and unique; the third is the oldest harp in Ireland. In general, the tour is very exciting, the small disadvantage is that the price of Ctrip is slightly more expensive than the local ticket price, and the cost performance is not very high.

Dublin Castle has a long royal history and the attractions are worth visiting. The ticket price is only 8 euros (6 euros for those over 60 years old). However, the ticket price on Ctrip for those over 60 years old is 160 yuan, which is 3 times the price on site. It is too expensive!!! It has affected my high trust and good impression of Ctrip!!!

This Catholic church in Dublin has a long history and is a landmark building in Dublin. Both the inside and the outside are very exquisitely built.

Ireland belongs to the temperate marine climate zone, so the vegetation coverage rate is very high. This green color, from south to north, from east to west, covers the island country, clear and transparent like emerald. The green of Ireland is fascinating, but the weather in Ireland is very depressing. When I came here, everyone said a joke that it rains 300 days out of 365 days in Ireland. One of my colleagues once talked about the weather in Ireland with a taxi driver. The driver said that God gave Ireland such a beautiful coat, and if he gave it good weather, it would be envied by the world.
