Am new to the forum, but thought I'd ask if anyone has any info about the Masters of Tradition Festival, held in Bantry, Co Cork, in August. Anyone been before? Anyone think it's wonderful? Or not?? Any and all info gratefully received. Ta |

I have played there many times, before it was the Masters of tradition, the acoustics are good. Egerton Shelswell white,the owner of Bantry House used to book my group regularly and then I suppose decided to be more ambitious. If you like irish music I would say you would enjoy it.I prefer the Baltimore fiddle fair. Dick Miles. |
