The Liverpool Irish Festival
This year there was a new refreshed version of the Liverpool Irish Festival with Gaelic football (mens and womens), music at St Georges Hall, music in pubs, screen printing, ghostly story telling for kids, electronic Irish music at the Palm House and whiskey tasting at the Belvedere Pub.
