SUMMARY:The Music of Healing & Creative Arts Award
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 16th July 2026 | 8:00pm | An Cuan\, Rostrevor\nThe Music of Healing is one of the most unique and treasured events at the heart of the Fiddlers Green Festival. Inspired by the song written by Tommy Sands and the late Pete Seeger\, this special evening has become a powerful celebration of music\, understanding\, community\, and reconciliation. \nHosted by Tommy Sands alongside a gathering of singers\, musicians\, and special guests\, The Music of Healing creates a space where song and conversation help build bridges between people of different traditions\, beliefs\, and backgrounds. For more than thirty years\, this remarkable event has quietly welcomed voices from many walks of life\, often maintaining the long-standing tradition of privacy surrounding invited guests until the evening itself unfolds. \nThis year’s event also includes the presentation of the prestigious Fiddlers Green Festival Creative Arts Award\, honouring individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the arts\, culture\, and community life in Ireland and beyond. Previous recipients include Pat Jennings\, Archie Fisher\, Peggy Seeger\, Liam Ó Maonlaí\, Pete Seeger\, Ralph McTell\, and Seamus Heaney. \nSet within the intimate surroundings of An Cuan\, audiences can expect an evening of reflection\, warmth\, music\, storytelling\, and inspiration that continues to stand as one of the defining experiences of the Fiddlers Green Festival. \nPrevious recipients of the Creative Arts Award  \n2025 – Pat Jennings \n2024 – Linda Ervine \n2023 – Archie Fisher \n2022 – Iarla Ó Lionaird \n2019 – Peggy Seeger \n2018 – Pádraigin Ní Uallacháin \n2017 – Shay Healy \n2016 – Mickey McConnell \n2015 – Quiet Meadow Makers \n2014 – Martin Lynch \n2013 – Bill Whelan \n2012 – John Sheehan \n2011 – Liam Ó Maonlaí \n2010 – Tom Paxton \n2000 – Siubhan Ó Duibhain \n2008 – Pete Seeger \n2007 – Steve Cooney \n2006 – Ralph McTell \n2005 – Micheál Ó Suilleabhain \n2004 – Tom Newman \n2003 – Liam Clancy \n2002 – Tony McCauley \n2001 – John B Vallely \n2000 – Seamus Heaney
