The Clarinbridge Banjo Gathering celebrates its third year with a great programme of traditional Irish music, Bluegrass, Americana, sessions, exhibitions and workshops.

The weekend ‘kicks off’ Friday evening at Jordan’s with well known musicians Charlie Harris and Des Mulkere in an evening of lively music, song and storytelling. We are delighted to have Mick Moloney as our main guest artist over the weekend.  Presently associated with the Music Dept. of New York University, Mick combines the careers of professional musician, folklorist, musicologist, teacher and arts presenter and advocate (and many will remember him from his early days with the Johnstons).
