The lineup for the fifth Quiet Lights festival has been announced — the music festival takes place in intimate venues around the city from November 24-27.

The winter festival has found a place in the hearts of gig-goers as a celebration of new Irish and International folk, traditional, and experimental artists — including Martin Hayes and John Francis Flynn, headlining the festival in a pair of gigs at Live at St Luke's.
