Rightio folks, when the light flickers, hold on to yer knickers. Its the two Johns from Kerrynini here, just giving ye the 411 on this whole Kinsale Arts Festival lark. The lovely folk running the festival have kindly donated a few shillings to us so that we could get some bands to play some free outdoor shows to you the beautiful people, heh! We'll be taking over the Sounds On The Square stage for 5 nights over the course of two weekends. There'll be roughly 3 bands playing each night, and we'll be spinning some records in between acts as well just to keep the heads boppin. Each night, the music will kick off at around 7pm and continue through until around 12. Obviously, every show is completely free and open to all ages. Sure, tis outside like, heh! We picked some of our favourite bands from around the country, hope ye like what we came up with. Theres a ton of other street entertainment, a festival club, a main stage, and dramatic water rock action - check the kinsale arts website or brouchures for more on that jazz. It all looks bloody interesting, intriguing, exciting, dynamic, riviting and down right sexy to us. Anyway, heres what we came up with.
