A Mozaik of styles and sounds by the Lee at the Cork Folk Festival

The Cork Folk Festival provided a feast of great music and good fun, writes Eoin Edwards

EVER go on a four-day, ‘round-the-world’ musical bender, and hear instruments you never knew existed, voices to die for and stories that live long in the memory?

I, and hundreds like me, have just disembarked a musical express train that had stops in 24 Cork pubs (and influences from Scotland, Britain, Bulgaria, Hungary, Holland, France, Germany, USA and Australia) in the company of world-class musicians.
