Programme

As part of the festival’s flagship project – “The Universities Project”, we will hold a large educational and artistic symposium on the Saturday Morning.

The festival first ever workshop in 2009 was a harmony singing workshop. This year we introduce this fantastic workshop with the legendary Cox Family.

A great treat for all fiddle player and other Old-Time and Cajun enthusiasts.

As we continue to explore the deep rooted connection between Irish traditional music and bluegrass, we are delighted to once again host this great session.

Gospel music is an important part of bluegrass and Old-time traditions, and each year we ask one or two of the programmed artists to “Bring their own church into ours”.

Each year we tip our hats in respect and gratitude to Sharon & Arnie of The Red Room in Cookstown, Co. Tyrone.

As any bluegrass festival goers know, the square dance is one of the main staples of any bluegrass or Old-Time event.

One of the festival’s main goals is creating an environment and the opportunities for musicians of all standards, to play formally and informally with professional musicians from all over the world.
