Frequently Asked Questions

  • Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2026 takes place in Belfast from Sunday 2nd August to Sunday 9th August. Belfast is hosting the Fleadh for the first time and is expected to draw around 600,000 visitors over the festival week. AXL Audiovisual is taking AV hire bookings now for Belfast bars, pubs, restaurants and venues planning to host live music during Fleadh week. Equipment stock in Belfast is limited and books quickly — we recommend reserving your PA, stage and lighting package as early as possible.

  • Yes. AXL Audiovisual supplies PA systems, microphones, small stages and lighting to Belfast bars, pubs, restaurants and independent venues throughout Fleadh Cheoil 2026. We offer four fixed-price packages — Acoustic Session for solo and duo acts, Trad Band for three to six-piece groups, Stage & Sound for larger pubs and beer gardens, and Bespoke Production for headline-act venues. Every package includes delivery, set-up, sound-check and de-rig by our Belfast-based crew so you can focus on running your venue.

  • AV hire costs for Fleadh in Belfast depend on the size of your venue, the type of acts you're hosting and the length of the booking. Our Acoustic Session Package starts from £1,000, Trad Band from £1,500, Stage & Sound from £2,000, and Bespoke Production is custom-priced based on scope. Every package is fixed-price — no surprise add-ons during Fleadh week. AXL Audiovisual provides tailored quotes within 24 hours of enquiry covering your Belfast venue's specific requirements.

  • The right PA system depends on your room capacity and the type of music. For a small Belfast bar or restaurant under 80 people hosting a solo or duo acoustic act, a 2-speaker compact PA is enough — that's our Acoustic Session Package. Pubs with 80 to 150 capacity hosting trad bands need a larger system with monitors — our Trad Band Package. Venues over 150, courtyards or beer gardens benefit from staged setups with stage lighting — our Stage & Sound Package. For headline-act productions over 200 capacity, our Bespoke Production Package includes a flown PA, LED video wall and on-site engineer. AXL Audiovisual will recommend the right setup based on your venue.

  • Yes. Every AXL Audiovisual Fleadh package includes delivery to your Belfast venue, full set-up, sound-check and tuning, and de-rig and collection after your event. Our Belfast-based crew handles all the technical work so you don't have to. We carry out a site visit before Fleadh week to confirm power, layout and access, and we arrive on the day at a time that suits your venue. All equipment is PAT-tested and covered by full public liability insurance.
