The theme for this year St Patrick’s Festival and Parade is sustainability. We are delighted that Irish musician and filmmaker Nick Kelly, whose feature documentary The Song Cycle follows his journey from Dublin to the Glastonbury Festival by bicycle, will be travelling sustainably to Trafalgar Square this year. Nick will also be on his bicycle as part of the St Patrick’s Parade. His band Dogs will also be performing on the main stage in Trafalgar Square where clips of his film will be shown also.
