The Maurice O'Keeffe festival is happening in Kiskeam Co.Cork this weekend. Loads of open sessions, concert on Sunday and the fiddle competition on Saturday is always cool.
3/3
Thanks to the local businesses for their amazing support. Thanks to the musicians, artists, singers, dancer and poets who made the festival so special. And all of you who attended the Scullys Fest Weekender events down through the years - míle buíochas!
ANNOUNCEMENT:
1/3 The Scullys Fest Committee, after much consideration, have decided that we will not be running a festival this year, or in the near future. The last two years has brought new challenges to putting on a 5 day festival.
2/3 We pride ourselves in running events to the highest standard and feel that it is not possible to do this at this time. We will continue to support local creative and cultural events and activities using all the resources and skills we built up - so watch out!
2/2 Getting our campaign to the Oireachtas has been the result of nearly four years of hard work and determination, and we would like to thank everyone that has supported FairPlé thus far.
