The second All Together Now festival returned to Curraghmore Estate in Portlaw over the August Bank Holiday weekend. The huge traffic issues have been widely discussed and promoters are to undertake a review of what happened. However there was much to enjoy on site at ATN2019; Mary was reporting from it and met up with many people from artists to food vendors to revellers, to members of the arts community in Waterford.

The Banksy Project Tramore is inviting businesses to sponsor walls in the town, on which selected artists can paint graffiti. There will be prizes for the best work and an awards ceremony on the weekend of October 26th.

Mary was joined On the Fringe by Afra Cronin and Ciara McCarthy, who had all the details..
