Clonmel Junction Festival is working year round producing, presenting and promoting arts events in the Clonmel region of South Tipperary, culminating in an annual 10 day festival each July that celebrates the Arts, and the life and times we live in.
The festival performance programme will be announced over the coming months with the full line up due the end of May. In the meantime the team have begun a number of Arts Projects in the community which will reach fruition in July for the Festival.
Enemble Ériu Live at the Main Guard
Drawing on the hypnotic repetitions of minimalism and the organic improvisatory spirit of jazz, the music of Ensemble Ériu weaves a rich acoustic tapestry around Irish traditional melodies. Ensemble Ériu are currently playing a series of concerts around Ireland to celebrate the launch of their debut album on Raelach Records. Catch them live at the Main Guard on April 24th. See more
On February 5th Ken Hennessey of KH Architects began an 8 week programme with High School Transition Year students to design and build a portable stage covering. This ambitious project has been made possible with generous sponsorship of local engineering contractors Kentz. In addition to Ken Hennessy’s tuition and guidance the boys will also be having information sessions with an engineer from Kentz, a building expert from Medite (who are supporting the project by donating materials) and a building and materials ecological impact session with a member of the Cultivate team from Cloughjordan. It is planned to unveil the stage at an end of year concert in the High School which will be organised by the Transition Year boys. The Festival would also like to acknowledge the support of the Local Agenda 21 Environmental Grant from South Tipperary County Council for this project. See more
