Each year during the festival, the town of
Longford , in the centre of Ireland , is transformed into a haven for musicians
and music lovers.
There are jams, sessions, busking, and concerts.
Music is available in abundance all weekend long....on the streets, on the
'Market Square' stage (in the centre of town), in the pubs and in our nightly
concert venues.
Lonesome Lester and Leroy Troy
Even the kids are involved
Banjo Pete joins them
for a jamming session. Pete's quirky style of play causes some
confusion and one by one the players stop and stare. Pete was
playing his unique interpretation of the Cork Hornpipe which caused
the girl with the guitar to comment "he seemed to be in the wrong
key and his timing had gone to pot."
Lonesome Lester says "Howdy!"
And Pete meets Leroy Troy
