In pictures: Opening night of the Ballyshannon Folk & Traditional Folk Festival

The Ballyshannon Folk & Traditional Folk Festival was officially opened at the Abbey Arts Centre this evening

For the past 46 years, Ballyshannon has presented a Folk and Traditional Music Festival, which runs though the weekend.

This evening, the festival kicked off at the Abbey Arts Centre. The Seeger Sessions Revival is a 14-piece band ‘reviving’ the spirit, energy and musical exuberance that was Bruce Springsteen’s Seeger Sessions album and live shows. The committee were delighted to again present an exhibition by their resident artist, Barry Britton. This exhibition was launched this evening and will be live in the Abbey Arts Centre until the end of August.
