FLEADH CHEOIL NA hÉireann went west this week, bringing thousands of visitors, and an estimated €40 million, to Sligo.

Ending on Tuesday officially, today will see the last of the big musical events in the town.

RTÉ Radio One has been on the streets for the week and Colm Flynn caught up with a number of street performers, a man with a happy bell and a child in a flat cap.

Enjoy.
