The Mall Sessions (Ticketed Event) €15

Friday, August 1st promises a lively Mall Session on the Mall (tickets required). From 7 PM to 8 PM, enjoy our Showcase winners, followed by the captivating sounds of Suil from 8 PM. The evening culminates with the high-energy performance of the Highstool Prophets from 9:30 PM. Don’t forget to explore the various Festival Sessions in Local Pubs throughout the night, where planned and impromptu music magic is bound to happen!

The Highstool Prophets have been blazing a trail in the Irish Folk Music scene for several years now. Most notably, their cover of Scottish singer Amy MacDonald’s hit, “This is the Life” has exceeded 10 million hits across online streaming platforms, with the artist noting it as “the best cover of the song, by a country mile!”

After a string of sold-out shows, TV and radio appearances and new music releases, Ballyshannon Folk and Traditional Music Festival look forward to welcoming the rip-roaring ensemble this August. Expect some of your favourite songs from renowned Folk Artists, high energy trad sounds, and a memorable evening of entertainment.”
