    see http://www.farmleigh.ie/famaffair.htm

    FYI. Farmleigh house is in the Phoenix Pk just inside the Castleknock gate.

    The Farmleigh Affair brings the world's leading jazz, world and traditional artists to the big stage set in the estate’s scenic Pleasure Grounds, with historic Farmleigh House as a dramatic backdrop, and its all free.

    Sunday 6th, its all about latin and soul, with uplifiting spirituals
    from The Dublin Gospel Choir, tango and other grooves of The Argentine
    from Dunne & Hernandez, sweet samba and bossa nova from Rio de Janeiro songstress Joyce, and old school r ‘n’ b from London’s Omar. There will be nothing like it. Monday 7th is roots and trad, with Ireland’s
    undercelebrated world champions, the mighty St Laurence O’Toole Pipe
    Band, Nordic fiddle meets West African kora with Ellika & Solo, hip
    Galician trad with Xose Manuel Budinho and his band, and Donegal’
    finest export, Altan. Craic will be had.

    You can have a cool drink if you like, there’ll be refreshments
    available, along with tasty treats from organic producers, and
    Farmleigh is the perfect spot for a picnic if you want to bring your
    own goodies. While you’re there, you can have a stroll in the
    gardens, a gander in the new galleries, or take a tour of the historic
    house.

    The Farmleigh Affair is completely free but you will require tickets,
    limited to four per person . They’re available online from Friday
