Clonakilty International Guitar Festival makes the jump online 

Jinx Lennon, Greenshine, Maija Sofia, Roy Harper and Míde Houlihan highlight a stacked streaming lineup

Greenshine: Cork family folk band are among the digital headliners at CIGF.

While 2020 has been a slog for Irish festivals owing to prevailing circumstances, the long and slow crawl onward continues apace for many, the continuation of a labour of love.

Joining the ranks of annual events offering streaming alternatives, including Other Voices, All Together Now and the Community Skratch Games, the sixteenth instalment of the irrepressible Clonakilty International Guitar Festival has made the jump online, kicking off last night and going for the rest of the week.
