Artists ready for folk festival

MUNSTER’S rich tradition of folk music will be flourishing at a weekend festival at one of Cork’s public houses.

An Spailpín Fánach, opposite the Beamish brewery in South Main Street, is home to three days of live performances of artists from Cork, Waterford and Limerick from tomorrow night.

Over the weekend, the public is also invited on a free walking tour of Cork — accompanied by performers singing songs about historic areas.
