One of the undoubted highlights is a visit to The Forum Theatre on October 23 by The Unthanks, the genre-bending UK outfit who’ve taken the folk scene by storm. Tickets are €20.
Also on the highly recommended list are:
October 22 – Jape @ The Forum Theatre. €10.

And that’s just the tip of the musical iceberg! Add in similarly strong theatre, film, spoken word, comedy, dance, visual art and family programmes and it looks like being quite an event. For full details see www.imagineartsfestival.com.
