The Clonakilty International Guitar Festival will go ahead starting from today and running all week with performances showing online.
The 16th edition of the festival will feature live-streamed sets from Jinx Lennon, Maija Sofia, Eve Clague, Míde Houlihan and more recorded in De Barra’s and other venues of the town.
There’s also a festival archive strand. See the full timetable below, streaming via clonguitarfest.com, Youtube, Twitter and Facebook.
The organisers said:
As ever, we could not present our festival without the huge efforts of our technical teams. These are the people behind the scenes that soundtrack the best moments of our lives. We stand in solidarity with all the artists, tech and events crews who have been out of work since March, with no sign of regular work resuming.
