The Stacks Mountains is where the music is this August Bank Holiday Weekend.
There, the four-day Dan Paddy Andy Festival in Lyreacrompane will celebrated the 21st anniversary of its founding.
There will be seven bands in the Marquee over the weekend including Pat McKenna from Derry and Paddy O’Brien from Waterford.
Starts with a Céilí
The 21st festival starts with a Ceilí on this Friday night and ends with five hours of Marquee Dancing on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon.
In between there is a Dog Show, a Bog Walk, and a 5K/10K Walk/Run for Enable Ireland.
Last of the Great Matchmakers
The Dan Paddy Andy Festival celebrates the last of the great Irish matchmakers, Dan Paddy Andy O’Sullivan (1899 – 1966).
The festival is staged in a totally rural setting at Lyreacrompane in the Stacks Mountains of Co. Kerry.
Great Crowds Expected
The entertainment goes on for four days over the August Bank Holiday Weekend with open air platform and marquee dancing attracting large crowds.
Lyreacrompane is synonymous with John B Keane so stories and drama also feature over the weekend.
