The Spirit of Folk festival is a new fundraising initiative for which charity?


While you're emailing me you should listen to a song from the wonderful Wicker Bones who are playing a special 'Spirit of Folk' showcase gig in Boyles tonight with The Young Folk and Joy Booth also on the bill.

'Follow me up to Carlow' is an old Irish Traditional song made famous by Planxty and was included on their 1973 self-titled debut album.
