Fiddlers Green Festival is proud to present The Sands Family, Ireland’s first family of folk and a foundational force behind the very spirit of this festival. Born, bred, and based in County Down, The Sands Family have been singing, writing, and performing music for as long as they can remember, passing their deep-rooted musical traditions down through generations.
As long-time supporters and central figures in the Fiddlers Green Festival since its inception, their presence is not just anticipated—it’s cherished. Their music reflects a lifetime of connection to Irish history, humour, culture, and community. Blending rich harmonies, poignant lyrics, and warm storytelling, the Sands’ performances resonate with both local pride and universal appeal.
Whether you’ve seen them before or are discovering them for the first time, this concert promises a memorable evening with one of Ireland’s most beloved folk groups—right in the heart of where it all began.
