Pat Shortt to run his own trad festival

John Spillane & Stockton's Wing are among the Castlemartyr headliners.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 15 May 2010

Comedian Pat Shortt has announced details of the inaugural Kiltha River Trad Fest, which will take place from July 29 to August 1 in his own bar in Castlemartyr, County Cork.

Highlights include:

Thursday – John Spillane (€18)

Friday – Stockton’s Wing (€20)

Saturday – Frankie Gavin & The New De Dannan (€20)

Sunday – The Abbey Céile Band (€10)

A dab hand on the old sax and clarinet himself, we wouldn’t be at all surprised if Mr. Shortt puts in a guest appearance or three.
