Enduring popularity of Cape Clear’s international festival tells its own story

Some 400 visitors stepped off the Cape Clear ferry for the island’s 19th international storytelling festival over the weekend.

Numbers were down slightly on last year’s bumper crowd, but new events such as an ‘Emerging Storytellers’ concert made for wider choice.

The five ‘emerging tellers’ have established links to the island through its storytelling workshops or as festival volunteers.
