Derry musician set for world-renowned festival over 4,000 miles away from home

A musician from Northern Ireland is set to travel over 4,000 miles from home to play at one of the largest folk festivals in the world this weekend.

Marty Coyle, from Derry, is set to play at the Jodhpur Rajasthani International Folk Festival (RIFF) which welcomes thousands of music goers over a five-day period between October 6-9.

Marty is there with the support of the British Council and will take to the main stage on Sunday, October 9, to perform a set inspired by the festival’s iconic setting, blending the folk music of Ireland with that of India.
