upthewestboy

Corkxsw is now regarded as Irelands best eclectic one day music event in Ireland. This year features the legendary Bonnie Prince Billy and Martha Wainwright, as well as a host of other local and international acts including dj's Craig Smith (6th borough project) and John Daly. Hosted in The Showgrounds Skibbereen in the heart of Gorgeous West Cork this event has grown steadily since it began in 2007 and now stands there with the best of them when it comes to value for money, intimacy, variety and chilled out atmosphere. There are only 2000 tickets on sale and last year was sold out. This adds to the comfort and enjoyment of those attending. Corkxsw also showcases some of Cork's finest food stalls and have children's activities as well for those bringing their kids. Check out www.corkxsw.com for more info and come along and savour one of the better ones.;)

There are loads of parking facilities right at the venue and a quick getaway is not a problem. The venue is on the Cork Road so you will be fine. Tickets for this are selling really quickly if anyone is thinking of coming, so do not be disappointed, book now. Hope to see you all there. www.corkxsw.com or www.tickets.ie for more info

What are the line-up times, or will that be advertised on the day?

Whatever about the rest I don't want to miss Bonnie Prince Billy.
Saw him in The Lobby, I think it was 1999. In the Top 3 gigs I've seen in Cork.

Just home from this. Good fun. Good food as well-very important

The Handsome Family were my highlight. Enjoyed Bonnie Prince Billy but his set was a touch too quiet for the time of day.

I think I'm jinxed though, I've never woken up on a Sunday morning at a festival and it not be damp and wet

Need.More.Toilets!

Went this year. While it was enjoyable, it would be nice to see some of the main acts play for longer.
Also, in the main tent, the incessant chatter from the audience throughout the music was really annoying, even when standing up at the front. This really pissed me off, anyone else feel the same?

Irishshin

Yeah agree with the constant chatter. Go outside if you wanna chat!

Loved Mick Flannery, he really was great.

Yup. Extremely annoying especially for someone like Bonnie Prince Billy.
