The Jim Dowling Festival takes place from June 20-23 this year. Another strong line-up of musicians again this year with Sean McKeon, Connla, Vallely Brothers showing the uilleann pipe influence here but there are plenty of other musicians there too. Check out their site above and their Facebook page for more information.
What I like about this festival is the variety of workshops to keep you going during the day. You can book your workshop slots here for the following:
- Reed-making with Patrick O’Hare (important for any piper or even their partner to help them out in their time of need!)
- Uilleann pipes with Sean McKeon
- Fiddle with Liam O Connor
- Accordion with Richard Lucey
- Bodhrán with Ronan O Snodaigh
