More information on Kilkenny Rhythm & Roots Festival

Still finding its feet somewhat, the Kilkenny Roots Festival is destined perhaps to become one of the premiere music events in Ireland. The line-up of events attracts a variety of international and home-grown acts from the world of alt-country, bluegrass and folk. Past performances included an appearance by Mercury Rev's Adam Synder who helped to give the festival the street-cred it so rightly deserved. Check the local press or phone for details on the upcoming program. See their website for event times.
