Music Festival: Spirit of Folk 2012 – The Line Up
Spirit of Folk Festival Unveils Line-up and Announces Extra Night
Taking place in the idyllic surroundings of Dunderry Park, Co Meath [and they are very idyllic…] from September 21st to 23rd, Spirit of Folk 2012 Ireland’s friendliest festival, as nominted by me returns again with another whopper of a line up and all things razzz-a-mataz. Wasn’t that a tv show way back when ?
More to the point, I was there for year one with Messrs McGuinness and Greene. I will be back for year 2. Back to it… This year’s Spirit of Folk festival line up features some new great additions like John Spillane, The Lost Brothers, Lisa O’Neill, David Gray; I Draw Slow, Spook of the Thirteenth Lock. Other acts of note see The Hot Sprockets return; Mossy Nolan and Brian Greene’s latest favourite The Henry Girls.
To accompany this feast of musical acts, there will be an abundance of alternative events for all to enjoy, including storytelling and poetry reading as well as talks and workshops on ancient druidism and shamanism; Tibetan Mandala making and singing bowls; Native American pipe ceremonies; dreams analysis; and ancient astronomy and permaculture. Take a deep breath………..
The evolution of Spirit of Folk 2012 sees it grow in size, with an addition of a headline stage and an organic food market to the plethora of events in the picturesque surroundings of Dunderry Park. A third night has also been added to the proceedings with camping available on Sunday night as well.
A limited supply of Early Bird weekend tickets for €65 and day tickets for €35 will be available until 31st May only. From June onwards, weekend tickets will cost €85 and day tickets will cost €45.
