Counting down to Winter Music Weekend


THE official launch of the festival brochure, marking the countdown to Sixmilebridge’s Winter Music Weekend in January, takes place this Saturday night with a great night of music at The Mill Bar.
The show kicks off at 9pm with the Sick and Indigent Song Club, a multi-instrumental six-piece band, that plays a mixture of original and traditional music from the past few decades.
They will be followed by the Trevor Handsbury Duo, who will round off the night with a set of high energy rockin’ blues.
The Winter Music Weekend is planned for January 14 to 17 and over 35 gigs, sessions, concerts, recitals and dancing will be hosted in 12 different venues. The events will feature acoustic acts of all hues from Irish, bluegrass or blues to country, gypsy and classical.
An estimated 4,000 people visit the festival each year. The festival is also family friendly as the main venue, Sixmilebridge Courthouse, is where a lot of the gigs are staged.
More information on the programme is available on www.wmw.ie.
