💚 The Festival begins here.

Join us at Liverpool Irish Centre on Weds 14 October as we officially launch Liverpool Irish Festival 2026!

This year’s launch is centred on I Am Here - and our special guest Enda McCabe embodies that spirit; A Dubliner by birth who spent 24 years in England before returning to Ireland, Enda is back performing after receiving a kidney transplant in 2021 following almost seven years on dialysis.

His show brings together songs, music and stories drawn from his own experiences, including reflections on his transplant journey - a powerful story of resilience, compassion and the gift of being here.

Come along to toast the start of , meet old friends and new faces, and hear from Enda and Melody Makers as we begin ten days of Irish culture across Liverpool.

📍 Liverpool Irish Centre
