AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Samhain Celebrations: Derry’s 40th Halloween festival expects 120,000 visitors, four decades after its roots in a local pub party. Meath’s Púca Festival brings concerts, folklore and a Samhain fire, while Galway’s programme pairs Irish traditions with a Día de los Muertos gathering. Irish Writing: Dublin writer Jamie Samson won RTÉ’s 2026 Short Story Competition with “Bubble,” about a night shift at an off-licence that takes an unexpected turn. Music Honours: Belfast composer and musician Neil Martin will receive the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award at the NI Music Prize. Mike Hanrahan’s dementia-inspired song “A River Rolls On” also received Alzheimer Europe’s Anti-Stigma Award.
