Traditonal Irish music in Belfast

Zola.

I have 2 American friends staying over in February and they really want to go to a bar to hear some traditional music (great :rotfl: )

I know Fibber Magees do some but I have never been in, isn't it very small?

They are staying in the premier inn on Waring Street, so ideally somewhere closer to the cathedral quarter would be better.

Any suggestions are welcome.

There's a bar opposite the Europa Hotel just next door to the station and they have 2-3 guys who go there on a Friday night and play Irish music as well as other stuff to.

If its a Friday or Saturday go to Maddens ( upstairs from 10)
Sunflower on Wed or Sunday
Kellys Cellars on Thursday- tourists tend to like Kellys- its very old
The Garrick Friday early evening and Wed I think
The Dirty Onion most nights though its very noisy there.
Fibbers and the Harp Bar woudnt have real trad on - mostly pub folk I imagine
