The town of Drogheda is known for culture. After all it is steeped in history with the Boyne Valley. But Drogheda outdid itself hosting this year's Fleadh Cheoil, the biggest annual celebration of Irish Culture in World.

 

Musicians, from young buskers to professionals and fans of traditional Irish culture came from around the world to take part, pumping money into the local economy there and putting Drogheda on the map.

Eco Artists Els and Declan with EDDEAR.com spent the week working on a mural celebrating art with recycled materials.

Edmund McNulty was among national artists showcasing Irish design in wool.
