Just in case you needed another reason to come to Clonmel next weekend…

Food, harvest, music, arts, nature, stories, apples and a fair bit of Clonmel mischief. Turns out we’re in very good company.

Thanks to Ali Dunworth | Food, Drink & Travel Writer and The Irish Times for the lovely nod.

With live jazz guitar from Liam O’Reilly, it promises to be a very fine way to start your Friday evening. Over 18's only.

Trad. But not as you know it.

Fresh from a busy summer on the road, including All Together Now and Electric Picnic, megaTRAD are rolling into Clonmel for the Applefest Harvest Hooley.

Expect full-force trad fusion, followed by DJ Lorcan Ryan keeping the hooley going into the night.

And because you can’t have a harvest hooley on an empty stomach, there’ll be hearty beef stew with beef from James Whelan Butchers and apple pie from coffee bla bla bla.

Come hungry. Stay for the hooley.
