We are delighted to announce the full programme for this year’s Masters of Tradition, which celebrates its 20th anniversary.

As well as the evening concerts in the Maritime Hotel, St Brendan’s Church and Bantry House, there is a series of Secret Concerts which take place in unusual venues in the Bantry area. Admission to these concerts is free but booking is required. If you want to find out who is performing, you’ll just have to come along.

The Cainteanna (Talks) series includes discussions and chats exploring music, creativity, tradition, philosophy and history with an occasional tune or two for good measure. Details on each of these afternoon events are included throughout the programme.

Booking is now open and you can book online or by ringing the Festival office on +353 (0) 27 52788. The brochure will be available very soon and if you would like a copy, please email sara@westcorkmusic.ie.

We look forward to seeing you in Bantry to celebrate the last days of summer in the company of Martin Hayes and this year’s line-up of spectacular musicians.

Best wishes

The Masters of Tradition team
