Mayo musicians performing at the Return to London Town Festival

Now in its 26th year, IMDL’s Return to London Town Festival celebrates traditional Irish music, song and dance over four jam-packed days, running from Friday, October 25, until Monday, October 28, at venues across Cricklewood and Kilburn.

Taking part in the 2024 event are a number of Mayo musicians, including Laoise Kelly (pictured) and Paul Clasham.

Other Connaught musicians performing over the weekend are Theresa O'Grady (Mayo/Leitrim), Conor Connolly (Galway), Garadice (Leitrim) and The Trad Gathering (performing music from the repertoire of north Leitrim musician and teacher Tommy Maguire, who lived and taught in London until 1986).
