Johnny Keenan Banjo Festival 2010

 

The Johnny Keenan Banjo Festival is a "Celebration of Irish traditional, American bluegrass and folk music".
Each year during the festival, the town of Longford , in the centre of Ireland , is transformed into a haven for musicians and music lovers.
There are jams, sessions, busking, and concerts. Music is available in abundance all weekend long....on the streets, on the 'Market Square' stage (in the centre of town), in the pubs and in our nightly concert venues.
There are also master class workshops available for musicians of all levels.
