10,000 expected for Clancy Brothers Festival

CROWDS of up 10,000 people are expected to descend on Carrick-on- Suir this weekend for the annual Clancy Brothers Music and Arts Festival.

Last year’s version saw more than 8,000 attend and organisers are expecting greater numbers this time, thanks to a wider programme of events and an extra day.

Among the music headliners are Mundy and Paddy Casey who will perform at the open-air Rock on the Suir concert, with ticket sales already reported to be strong, while Paul Brady’s performance on Sunday night is almost sold out.
