Trad Takeover! Traditional Irish music will spill out onto the streets of Dungarvan this weekend
A TRADITIONAL Irish music festival will take place in Dungarven this weekend.
‘Tunefest’ will take at venues across the town and will feature headline gigs from acts including Dervish, Ímar and Danú.
There will be workshops, dancing, pub sessions, youth buskers, book launches and a number of free outdoor performances on the gig rig.
The event will bring together some of the most talented traditional Irish musicians and singers from Waterford, around the country, and overseas for one incredible weekend of top-class music and fun.
The line-up features award-winning musicians and a wide variety of musical expression from ancient airs to popular ballads, céilí, jigs, reels, and polkas to more modern tunes with an Irish trad twist.
The festival has also teamed up with local hotels and accommodation providers to offer special packages for those looking to stay in Dungarvan for the weekend.
Festival organiser Donnchadh Gough said he's looking forward to the weekend. “We're thrilled to bring ‘Tunefest’ back for what we expect to be our best year yet. We have one of the best line-ups of musicians joining us over the weekend. This is a festival that truly has something for everyone, whether you're a budding musician yourself, a die-hard trad fan or just want a fun weekend away. We can't wait to see everyone there!"
