Aimed at musicians and listeners the festival will celebrate the diversity of the Banjo.

These will feature, Irish traditional musicians as well as Bluegrass, Dixieland Jazz, Oldtimey, American Roots and folk music. There are two concerts on Saturday, a buffet concert at 17:30 (€18) in the Manor Hotel (061-707984) and the headline concert (€15) featuring Cathal Hayden & Jamie O’Dowd at 20.30 in the Bunratty Castle Hotel (061-478400) - Tickets available at concert venues. On Sunday the festival continues in the Folk Park with 4 x 45 min concerts in the Barn starting on the hour from 13.00. Normal admission rates apply. This is a great venue and anyone who has had the Winter Music weekend experience at this venue will certainly come back for more this September. More information to come.
