There are many music festivals throughout the Irish summer, but
Farmleigh's is a bit special. Now in its second year, 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.
