Speaking after Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann was named the Best Event of 2013 at the NI Tourism Awards, Councillor Campbell said;
“Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann was undoubtedly the stand-out event of a tremendous year in Derry as part of the City of Culture Celebrations.
“More than 430,000 people attended the Fleadh making it the biggest and best Fleadh held in the long history of Comhaltas Ceolteoirí Éireann.
