Cridhe Torthúil (KREE-eh TOR-hool)

Fertile Heart Plain

In the heart of Tir na nOg, nestled amidst an expansive plain surrounded by dense, whispering forests, lies the ethereal venue for the annual Oíche Meallta Concert. This locale, central to the island yet transcendent in its accessibility—where travel is liberated from physical constraints and achieved through mere thought—resonates with a profound spiritual and historical significance. It is here, in this sanctified meadow, that the harmonics of the universe converge, creating a symphony of energies felt by every attendee.
Historically, this sacred site was once the stage for ancient rites performed by the Sidhe, whose ceremonies of sex and love were crucial in renewing the land’s fertility and invigorating its lush flora. These rites, imbued with passion and sensuality, have left an indelible mark on the location, making it a place where the past and present meld seamlessly. The echoes of these ancient ceremonies lend a mystic vibrance to the musical festivities, infusing each note with the timeless essence of the island’s mythic past.
Today, the plain not only serves as a gathering spot for lovers of music from across the realm but also stands as a monument to the island's deep-rooted traditions of inclusivity and celebration of diversity. As melodies fill the air and stars begin to pepper the sky, the festival transforms this historical site into a living canvas, illustrating the enduring power of love, passion, and communal harmony. The Oíche Meallta Concert, held in such a storied setting, transcends mere entertainment, becoming a spiritual pilgrimage for all who partake in its annual celebration of life and music.
