Festival Return
Ardara had its first festival this weekend since the lockdown. The ‘Not the Johnny Doherty Festival’ was organized by Donna Harkin, one of the unsung heroes of festivals in Ardara for many years.
Musicians descended on Ardara this weekend and we had a feast of wonderful music. All accommodation was taken up and the theme of the festival was ‘Musical Sessions’ at various locations with up to 20 first class musicians, and the quality was appreciated by all.
A brochure of festival events is being prepared for a full programme of festivals in 2022 and everyone will be so welcome.
