Spirit of Folk returns with The ‘Spirit of Folk Awards’ this Autumn.
Originally a three day camping festival, 2013 will see the birth of an exciting new initiative, held over two events.
The main ‘Feastival’ in September also promises to host an array of family friendly activities to delight attendees. As well as events such as Falconry, Living History, Shamanic drumming and Astronomy, a medieval feast will be included in the €50 ticket
price. Think haunches of meat, hearty cassoulets, artisan cheeses, and freshly baked ginger bread!
‘We’ll have great folk and trad music, storytelling, traditional games, delicious food and arts and craft vendors up stairs in Whelan’s. We’re really excited to transform the place into a mini folk festival!’
On the night of September 21st, three of the top Irish folk artists will battle it out for the Spirit of Folk Award, which will include a €1000 cash bursary, recording time with Darklands Studios, and a creative writing week at Dunderry Park.
