Taking place on Friday 19th September 6pm-10pm, Culture Night / Oíche Chultúir is brought to you by the Arts Council; it is a national moment, celebrating culture, creativity and the arts and seeks to actively promote the belief that this rich and varied culture is alive, treasured and nurtured in people’s lives, today and every day. It is delivered nationwide in cities, towns, villages and rural locations as well as online and through our media partners.

On September 19th 2025, doors will open later and special and unique events will be specifically programmed at participating locations and, thanks to the continued support of the Arts Council and Local Authorities across the island of Ireland, all activities will be available to the public free of charge.

Na Píobairí Uilleann (NPU) welcome visitors to their headquarters, located in their historical Georgian building on one of Ireland’s most architecturally important streets.

“Humble Genius: Martin Wynne”
This event will take a look at the unique life and music of Martin Wynne (1913-1998). From youthful days in Sligo, early recordings in London, emigration to the United States, musical friendships in New York, and a life-long fascination with the music of Michael Coleman, each chapter in Wynne’s life is worthy of dissection. Analysing Wynne’s musical influences, recordings on non-commercial 78 rpm discs and reel-to-reel tapes, and various interviews aim to give a window into his ideology on the fiddle.
Na Píobairí Uilleann presents Notes & Narratives – a series of monthly performance-based lectures on traditional music, song and dance by some of Ireland’s finest traditional artists.
