Gerry Godley Talks Music

Day 8 of the festival and we finally cornered music curator Gerry Godley to find out how the music strand of the festival has been going. Though, that's partly a lie, he did come in and offer to chat with us so we took the opportunity to grab a break at Chez Pierre this morning and look back at the past week's music and what's in store for the weekend ahead. The programme of music put together by Gerry has drawn all kinds of traditional, world and jazz musicians and after a week of dancing and whooping to the sounds of Ale Moller, Evan Christopher, the Kilkenny County Sessions and more, we've still got another two days from Gerry's programme of events to take in.

Take a look and listen to the man himself above - then dip into the programme proper with Konono no. 1 on in Set tonight from 8pm (though now hearing rumblings that it's sold out, always worth chancing your arm at the door for last minute returns), and Tarab, Fidil and the Dublin City Jazz Orchestra all performing tomorrow. Folk rockers Scullion round things out at the festival party on Sunday night.
