The following is the Pub Trail for the weekend’s 22nd annual Patrick O’Keeffe Traditional Music Festival. The festival will get underway at 8pm tonight and will be launched with a live broadcast by Radio Kerry’s Mary Conroy. Bystanders, innocent or otherwise, musicians and spectators are all welcome to attend.

At 10pm the music sessions will kick off in earnest in the various venues around the town. We hope that both visitors and locals enjoy what is going to be a fantastic weekend of great music in Castleisland.

While it isn’t mentioned in the pub trail, the Con Houlihan readings will be held in Tom McCarthy’s kitchen at 3pm on Sunday.
