Live Music
Rostrevor is famed for its musicians, including some of Ireland’s finest folk and traditional artists.
Music is in our DNA! Every Wednesday in our traditional bar, Crawfords, Matthew McGrath hosts our now legendary songs and stories evening by the fireside.
Friday night brings the awesome multi-instrumentalist Dermot McQuaid and there’s always great live music on Saturday nights. Danny McGreevy’s traditional session starts at 5pm each Sunday.
Our monthly folk club has featured the finest artists from Ireland and abroad for nearly ten years. We have also featured music in our Pop-up Gaeltacht on the first Monday of each month.
