Starting things off and taking place from the 10th – 13th October is the Cork Folk Festival, which quite simply over its 30 year history has presented the very best of local, national and international folk and traditional music, song and dance right here in Cork, and which this year as well as the normal line up of amazing acts, such as Scullion, Altan, Fred, John Spillane and many more, will try to create the world’s largest Ceili band at a free gig in City Hall.
