The Afro Celt Sound System perform at the Fleadh

Organisers of the event demonstrated they had a sense of humour as they played Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head over the public address system.

Visitors to the festival went to great lengths to shelter from the unrelenting rain by donning makeshift raincoats made out of bin-bags.

Many slithered along the mud as ground was churned up underfoot.

The long-running Glastonbury Festival, which usually follows the Fleadh, has been renowned for suffering appalling weather, but this year the event has been cancelled.
