Friends! The summer is still young, but the 22nd Edition of the Clonakilty International Guitar Festival (September 16-20), already has the makings of a vintage year, combining an attractive mix of established talent with
emerging artists.
The Clonakilty International Guitar Festival is a community-powered, not-for-profit, evergreen antidote to the news cycle. Its main stage is the bars, venues, premises and spaces of our weatherproof Irish town, and the fabled DeBarras Folk Club (and spacetime anomaly.) No corporate messaging, no quagmires and no pestilential PortaLoos are entered into – just life-enhancing music, made by humans, for humans, to enjoy with other humans – close enough to the artists to see their feet keep time and to spot the callouses on their thumbs.
Music is part of a life well-lived. Come along.
CIGF is a volunteer-led community group of passionate music fans and can only continue this year thanks to the support of the Arts Council, Cork County Council and as ever our committed local sponsors.
