Pre festival fundraising concerts.

To raise the profile of the Festival as well as raise money towards Clare and future festivals, we organise pre-festival concerts.

Paul Cox's Band

Paul Cox, already a hit at our festivals, played in Clare for a pre-festival concert to start the count down to the festival.
Dr Feelgood supported by Nermal

What a evening it was, Nermal started the evening off. Then Dr Feelgood took over and gave some music medicine to everyone.
Geno Washington

He was so popular at this years festival in July, that we had to bring him back.
Supported by local band R&B Supply 
Marianne Olyver & Her Salon Orchestra

This was a different event for us to run, and it proved a success. This was not down to us, but to the reputation of Marianne Olyver.
Marianne is a local person who plays professionally all round the country and Europe.
