Read this brilliant piece in the Echo written by festival director Jessie Cawley: https://www.echolive.ie/corkviews/arid-41815025.html “Traditional music doesn’t belong to a select few. It’s a living, evolving practice that grows when more people take part. You don’t need permission to begin. But if you’ve been waiting for an invitation, here it is!”
