In the weeks leading up to Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2018, Nós Nua - Louth Youth Folk Orchestra, a partnership programme between Music Generation Louth and the Oriel Centre, Dundalk (Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann Regional Centre), performed a 'Fleadh Mob' to unsuspecting audiences on the steps of St. Peter's Church, Drogheda.

Louth (part of Taisce Lú, Create Louth Collection). The arrangement was by Dónal O' Connor, Conal Duffy and Deirdre Ní Bhuachalla.
Choreography was by Dearbhla Lennon and Aidan McLoughlin (Lennon-Mc Loughlin School of Irish Dance), Scoil Rince Cosceol, Scoil-Rince Mona Ni Rodaigh and Carol Leavy.
The Nós Nua Team are Conal Duffy, Deirdre Ní Bhuachalla, Kay Webster-Dooley and Gemma Murray.
