Dunfanaghy Jazz & Blues Festival

10th - 12th September 2010

The third annual Dunfanaghy Jazz and Blues Festival will take place from Friday September 10th - Sunday 12th September. The line up of musicians set to play at this years event will be bigger and better. After a successful two years which saw jazz and blues musicians perform a series of free concerts in the popular Donegal town, the organisers are expecting thousands of music fans to visit Dunfanaghy for the 3rd festival in September.

The Dunfanaghy Jazz & Blues Festival in association with Irelandselfcateringholiday.com will feature a series of free live gigs from 20 bands in 10 different music stages in pubs and bars throughout the village and Dunfanaghy and extending to Creeslough for the first time. The festival will be headlined by the internationally acclaimed Rab McCullough from Belfast, one of the great blues guitarist and vocalists of today guaranteed to play an electrifying performance.

The impressive line up of musicians from across Ireland and Northern Ireland performing at the Dunfanaghy Jazz and Blues Festival include Paul Casey, The Mirenda Rosenburg Band, The Lee Hedley Band and The Grainne Duffy Band among others. Festival organiser, Donald Craig said, “ The festival was a huge success last year and this year we have another incredible line up of Irish artists with amazing talent. It is a party of great quality music in a beautiful place. Dunfanaghy is a fantastic location and all the gigs are free. Everyone is invited and we want to be able to show people how good Donegal is.”

There will also be a Children’s Performance Workshop which is yet to be confirmed. Tickets to this workshop are limited and pre-booking is advised by contacting the Workhouse in Dunfanaghy - call Donegal (00353) 074 9136540. Book your accommodation early as the festival is a sell-out!
