Féile – The Untold Story of the Trip to Tipp

On Monday August 3rd, Irish music will celebrate the 25th birthday of the modern rock festival which was born in 1990 in Thurles, Co. Tipperary. This programme gathers together the main protagonists and tells the five year story behind one of Ireland’s most colourful and controversial events.

The documentary was produced and presented by Will Leahy and features festival organiser Michael Lowry, T.D., Justin Green of MCD Promotions and many of the bands and artists that appeared on the bill – The Stunning, Something Happens & The Sawdoctors.
