Christy Moore, Ye Vagabonds and more to play Masters of Tradition in West Cork

West Cork will get its first taste of the return of live music from August 19-23rd. Masters of Tradition will return to Bantry in a socially distanced and safely regulated form, and with indoor gatherings are restricted to 50 people, the concerts promise to be extra intimate this year.

A host of incredible Irish talent is set to perform, including: Donovan, Christy Moore, Steve Cooney, Cormac Begley, Ye Vagabonds, Dónal McCague, Tommy Fitzharris, Caitlín Nic Gabhann, Ciarán O Maonaigh, Róisín Chambers, Eimear Coughlan and Francis Cunningham.

The musicians will also revive the secret concert series, creating a series of films in a number of locations like Bantry House, Whiddy and Garnish Islands, and Future Forests that will be streamed during the mini Festival. Those details will be announced nearer the time.

In the meantime, you can purchase tickets to the individual gigs via the Masters of Tradition website. Space is limited, so get your tickets fast.
