Friends….
its been brought to our attention that the dark side of the internet is using our guitar festival to scam musicians….sophisticated fraudulent emails have been sent to many musicians around the globe claiming to be on behalf of the guitar festival and offering a place in our lineup for this years event replacing an artist that cannot attend! These are false and untrue! A ‘Vicky Boss’ is mentioned in the fraudulent message and two of the mail addresses being used are buildcomcgmitl@gmail.com & timfx2016@gmail.com –
We have discovered that other festivals (much bigger than ours!) too are a victim of this scam & needless to say we have notified the Irish Gardai.
So friends PLEASE! be safe out there in your inboxs! & contact us directly if you have recieved a similar message.
”Beware of false EMAILS , which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves…”

This September Clonakilty International Guitar Festival are proud to partner with Folk Alliance International to present the first ever FAI European conference right here in Guitartown! This pilot event will see the cream of folk artists and rising stars perform showcase events in the prestigious & historic music venues for which west Cork is famed, before dovetailing seamlessly into the 13th edition of the Clonakilty International Guitar Festival. West Cork is rightfully proud of its food and scenery but the other natural resource we have is a vibrant musical culture and it is this alchemy which will draw Folk Alliance delegates from all over the globe to our corner of paradise. As well as the panel discussions and showcase concerts, the event will also include the presentation of the FAI Lifetime Achievement Award to Donal Lunny for his contribution to traditional music over his stellar career. Lunny will join Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and Mavis Staples in receiving this award.
The following shows have also now been added to an all ready jam packed festival lineup with tickets available to festival goers! Tickets on sale now!
