We have some of the most brilliant musicians in the world making the pilgrimage to West Kerry to be with us, and we have a gathering up of new voices and artists who have written the emotional soundtrack to the Ireland of 2022. The artists are at the heart of the matter; it’s a delight to celebrate their creativity and commitment. It’s going to be great.”
