Surf’s up for June music festival

THE west Clare area is set for a major “surf” dividend with a two day surf and music festival over the June bank-holiday weekend.

Thousands are expected to descend on the west Clare town of Miltown Malbay — made famous by the annual Willie Clancy Summer School — for the Cold Pro event.

The promoters have signed up Imelda May, Peter Hook of Joy Division, Jamie XX along with dozens more acts for the two day music extravaganza.
