@ireland_before_you_die: What a week for Belfast ☘️❤️ The Fleadh coming to the city felt genuinely historic and showed just how far Belfast has come. 30+ years ago, soldiers were on the streets, the city centre was barricaded and communities were divided by conflict. This week, people from all sides came together, dancing in the streets, enjoying the craic and celebrating Irish music and culture openly. What a difference a few decades can make. Credit to The Donegal Bar, Haymarket, Fleadh pages and others across social media for recent clips, with vintage footage from ITN and BBC. Well done to everyone who organised it, took part, travelled to the city and embraced what was a brilliant week for Belfast. 👏☘️

The best time Belfast ever had, there is people in Papua new guinea seeing beautiful videos of the craic at the fleadh. better to be known for the craic than the old ways.
