Saturday 29 December, Áras Chrónáin, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. Phone 01-4574847.

A lively mix of music, story and song from five of Ireland's top folk acts. With a wonderful selection of songs by composers such as Marty Robbins, Tom Paxton, Jesse Winchester, Tommy Scott, Joni Mitchell, Johnny Cash, Stephen Foster, Chuck Berry, Stockton's Wing, Woody Guthrie, etc. combined with their own arrangements of great traditional tunes, it really is a feast of folk music.
