Masters of Tradition 2020

We lost two Festivals this summer, but we fully intend that the third one, Masters of Tradition, will go ahead. The Government's Road Map currently gives the thumbs up to festivals in the second half of August if produced subject to social distancing rules, which will be a new experience for all of us.

The Irish Government’s COVID-19 Roadmap is enabling us to come up with plans for Masters of Tradition in Bantry in August.
