Thanks so much for posting this!

Yes, it's official, and there will be more workshops coming too, plus lots of lovely craft beers in all the bars, where you will be most welcome to jam... really hope to see some of you there.

Keep checking the site for updates, as there will also be news on places to stay, and to eat, as well as plenty of music!

Enjoy, Lil x

Good man, we're up against the Cork Jazz which is a huge fest so don't be shy spreading the word. If this year is successful who knows. Great support already from folks in the UK and further. If on twitter follow @Silverwoodirl who is Lily the main organiser and all round cool lady.

Is there a reason for that? it seems at first glance to be some unfortunate scheduling...
