Knockanstockan is fast approaching this weekend and today, on the Irish Times, I talked to festival director Bettine McMahon about why after ten years of championing Irish music, the festival will take a break. We also talked sponsorship, the lack of hierarchy, the secret bands playing the festival this year and more.
Check that out at the Times site. Plus, here are the stage times and site map for this weekend.
More info on the food on-site and the festival buses.
