Clonmel Busking Festival, 6-9 Aug. 2015

Thanks (for the second time today) to Wendy Connolly and 'Bluegrass in Ireland' for posting news from Rita Bourke about this year's Clonmel Busking Festival, to be held in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, on 6-9 August 2015.

As Rita's announcement points out, the Festival is not just an important musical and community event, it raises large sums for worthwhile causes - last year, €20,000 for Crumlin Children's Hospital. A full schedule can be seen here as an Excel document, and there's a conspicuous contingent of bluegrass and bluegrass-related acts, marked in sky blue. Expect to see some well known figures on the streets, as in the picture below.
