We all know what folk music is, more or less. What about folks’ music, then? Would that be the music of lots of different folks? Indeed it would.

Folks’ Music will be the next annual midsummer festival presented by Louth Contemporary Music Society, and it will bring together just that: lots of different folks. Some with dirt on their musical boots.

Irish traditional musicians will be there, of course. And four saxophone players from Spain. And two string quartets, from London (Explore Ensemble) and Dublin (Esposito Quartet). And composers from Italy, Canada, the United States and England as well as Ireland. And another of the brightest stars in this country’s musical heaven: Chamber Choir Ireland.
