Downpatrick Folk Club

David Gray in Downpatrick!

The wonderful kids from Bunscoil Mhuire agus Padraig at Down Arts Centre on Saturday.

Another Trad & Folk Fest Weekend over! A week off, and we're back at it again :) Thank you to everyone who attended and supported, and special thanks to Denvir's Coaching Inn and Down Arts Centre for hosting, sponsoring and supporting us. Thanks to all our fantastic "Singers in the Round" Brigid O'Neill Music, Gerry Creen & Gregg Coyle who gave a barnstorming show and shared their beautiful songs with style, panache and a nudge and a wink when required. Thank you to Lucy Bell... who was so good she got an extra set - a voice to listen out for! Many thanks to Josephine Mulvenna Music (with Mark Carmichael & Barbara Fitzpatrick) who made a magnificent return to her old stomping grounds. Thank you to the kids from Bunscoil Mhuire agus Padraig and all the musicians and singers who got up to perform at the Open Session on Sunday - you were super and troopers one and all! Last, but not least, a special thanks to Adam Mullan whose skills reconciled the wild diversity of vocals, guitars, bouzoukis, harmonicas, fiddles, keyboards and kept it all (inc. Harvey Vint) sounding splendid ;)
Til next time!
