It is impossible to predict what this weekend’s Patrick O’Keeffe Traditional Music Festival will be like.
But then, there’s nothing new in that as each and every one of the preceding October bank holiday weekend festivals have been different in their own delightful ways.
This one will be entirely different to anything that went before because of the cloud that’s been hanging over us all for the best part of the past two years now.
Music, Singing, Mingling and Merriment
There is a full programme of music, singing, mingling and merriment lined up to delight followers of festivals like this.
There are people who will be afraid to get involved to the extent that they were always able to.
The ways we all mixed and spent time together is not the way of the world now – and won’t be for the foreseeable future it seems.
The festival will open on this Friday evening and run to closing time on Monday night. The entire and comprehensive festival programme can be found with a click on: www.patrickokeeffefestival.com
