In a charming turn of events, Riverdance icon and presidential hopeful Michael Flatley took to the main stage—and even the streets—at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Wexford this weekend, treating the crowds to an impromptu flute performance.
His appearance delighted festival-goers as he masterfully played amidst the vibrant atmosphere of dancing, music, and culture.

Flatley’s musical contribution comes hot on the heels of revelations that he’s seeking nominations to run for President of Ireland in this autumn’s election—details that emerged recently during a High Court appearance. Despite hinting at his aspirations, he remains noncommittal, stating that he’s consulting with advisers and weighing whether he could truly be “a voice for the Irish people.”
So there you have it: a weekend of traditional tunes, plus a powerful public reminder that Flatley’s not just a cultural ambassador—he’s possibly eyeing Áras an Uachtaráin next.
Tune in to World Wide Reb, weekday mornings at 8.45am on 98FM's Big Breakfast for all the latest entertainment news.
