A MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANISER

"I hope you all discover a great band or artist at this festival that you'd love to go and hear again or check them out online. And if you do then the festival has achieved it's goal. Ireland is full of great live bands and this is a way of hearing lots of them over a day or a weekend." Paul Byrne
