Jim Dowling Uilleann Pipe and Trad Festival

Glengarriff Welcomes You

We are very sorry to announce the cancellation of the Jim Dowling Uilleann Pipe and Trad Festival 2020. After consulting with businesses, artists and everyone else associated with the festival around West Cork and beyond, sadly it was inevitable with the current restrictions in place around Covid-19.

The next Jim Dowling Uilleann Pipe and Trad Festival will take place in June 2021. Keep an eye out for some Zoom and Facebook lIve events that will be happening on the weekend in place of the festival - should be fun and we hope you enjoy them!

Please stay safe and well and enjoy your music in the meantime. See you all soon.

Piping Hot line-up in store!

The sound of the uilleann pipes will be taking centre-stage in the picturesque village of Glengarriff in West Cork with a festival of great music to beat them all. We will be joined by Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny, Ulaid, 3 On The Bund, Ross Ainslie and Padraig McGovern to name but a few. There will be something for everyone - all the info is here. We hope you enjoy!
