Clonakilty International Guitar festival
 

I opened this because I thought it said clone a kitty.

Interesting... besides the typical info whcih i can deal with, the main reason I think its a poorly written article/website is because it doesn't even actually say where this Festival is??? like what city? country?

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Scott: Its in Co. Cork, Ireland!

It will be headlined by none other than Lee Ranaldo co-founder of the legendary rock outfit Sonic Youth, a band that has played a pivotal part in the rise of alternative rock in the states since they formed in 1981. Sonic Youth have inspired, and been friends with many of America’s greatest grunge bands, having shared the stage with the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the two- time Hall of Famer Neil Young.


And some have the nerve to call this "poorly written" . . .

:p

Decent cover of Visions of Johanna.

thanks, cool that its in Ireland ;) too bad its so far away from me :(

Very exciting news! Clonakilty is a small country town on the west coast of Ireland, to see Lee play in De Barras (name of the venue) will be a treat, very intimate, very dark

so did i

you're fucking joking me! that's best news ever. uhmm, first what come into my mind was klonakilty sausages, but this?! best news this week!!!

As did I, Derek.

funny how americans can mention little side streets and small dingy places and when we go ....um where???? they get all "man, dont you know anything?" with us and yet clonakilty is a well known village both as a festival and as a tourist spot and they have never heard of it! noel redding (jimi hendrix experience) lived there for most of his post hendrix life.

its great lee is coming to this very unique festival. also he may samople some of the amazing clonakilty black puddings!!!

god-damn! will have to make a concerted effort to get to this!

pauly, john are yous coming? i bought two tickets just in case my grlf. change her mind and stay one more day in ireland before going back to school, but i might end up with spare ticket. i've checked flights from dublin to cork and it's only 10 eur. total! same price for flight back! i'll b driving but.

so he's on stage 16th. evening and 17th. he has some seminar or smth. I wish I could stay for next day, but i don't know...

It is because some SYG members just have it in for the Irish.
