Bluegrass gets underway in Dunmore East

The popular Bluegrass Festival returns to Dunmore East this weekend.

The festival is now in its 28th year and has become a popular fixture on the local entertainment calendar.

Speaking to WLR News, organiser Mick Daly gave a taster of what people can expect this year.

"It's all free and taking place over three venues - Power's, Bar, The Strand Inn, and The Spinnaker," he explained. "Most of the bands are playing throughout the weekend so if you miss them on Friday, you can cach them on Saturday and Sunday."

This year's line-up includes two acts from the US as well as many Irish bands who have performed numerous times at the festival.
