Le Cheile Oldcastle Festival, 5th & 6th August
2007
5th & 6th August 2007 Le Cheile Oldcastle
Festival |
 |
|
"It's small but its heart is in the right
place. Co Meath's Le Chéile festival
(based in Oldcastle) has been doggedly going
about its business for several years. Primarily
an arts and music festival, it might not have
the budget of city-based events (and it certainly
doesn't seem to have the sponsorship), but it
manages nonetheless to come up with the goods...
The venues are intimate but the atmosphere is
excellent..."
Tony Clayton-Lea (The Irish Times)
