Kilkenny Arts Festival 2008

The Kilkenny Arts Festival 2008 runs from 8 – 17th August featuring Theatre, Dance, Music, Childrens Events and much more over 10 days in the beautiful city of Kilkenny.

One of my personal favourites is ms Lisa Hannigan who sang along with Damien Rice on many a fine tune. She gets to shine all on her own on Saturday 9th August at The Parade Tower in Kilkenny Casle. For only €18 you can’t go wrong.

In fact you can even meet her at 7pm in the upstairs bar at Morrisson’s as part of the ‘meet the artists’ programme!

For those interested in Art and Animation check out Atsushi Kaga at the Butler Gallery in Kilkenny Castle where his dark but funny humour takes you on a journey into cultural politics and the exploration of personal identity.

For all of this and more just check out www.kilkennyarts.ie or tel: +353 56 775 2175
