Festival Playlist

“…a weekend that showed Galway…knows where to find some of the most imaginative and cultivated performers of today’s early music world. Shirley Apthorpe, Financial Times, 25/05/2009

a small festival (that) manages to assemble a program of remarkably high international quality, and to generate a very friendly atmosphere with a lot of fun activities. It is definitely a festival to recommend. Kjellrun Åsgard Kleven and Kyrre Slind, festival visitors from Norway
