The event incorporates recitals of Irish traditional music by national performers, informal music gatherings ('sessions') , workshops for young musicians, an archival recording project of older musicians performing their unique compositions and the holding of a set dancing céilí.
The main recital will take place in the beautiful heritage building, Christchurch. Additionally, an event to encourage the revival of the unique Wexford tradition of Mumming to the Gorey area is also planned as are lectures and presentations by renowned local musicians Mark Redmond (Gorey) and Pádraig Mac Áogáin (Shillelagh/Cork).
