The Westport Folk and Bluegrass

25th - 27th June 2010

Festival will be taking off for the 4th time in 2010. After 3 very successful years the festival has grown in popularity both with the fans who are attending the event and the performing artists who are queuing up to take part.

This year, along side well known bluegrass acts, we will give stage to new coming bluegrass bands and we will put greater emphasis on the folk side of the festival. Once again we will keep the idea of local, national and international acts with bands and solo artists coming from Westport, Dublin, Northern Ireland and the UK.

It is important to the festival committee to maintain the festival main goals of showcasing Westport as a friendly music town and to establish the festival as one of the main events of the Irish bluegrass calendar.

Last year, a team of RTE's's "Nationwide" joined us to document the festival and you can watch the clip by clicking here

Uri and the Electric Cave Production are working hard to ensure the success of the festival and we hope to see you all in Westport on the last weekend of June 25-27/6/2010.
