SCREENING 24th JANUARY 2026

Donegal teenager Shóna McAnally feels conflicted about her prodigious talent as a traditional Irish fiddle player. She takes to the road with her little brother Mickey and a troupe of wandering musicians, on a cross-country journey of adventure, romance and musical exploration.

Winner of the audience award at this year’s Galway Film Fleadh, Trad is a hugely entertaining celebration of Irish music featuring a stellar lead performance from Donegal fiddle player Megan Nic Fhionnghaile who contributes to the film’s vibrant soundtrack along with brothers Declan and Eugene Quinn.

Post-screening Q&A with director Lance Daly and composers Declan & Eugene Quinn will be hosted by musician Fintan Vallely.
