"We have endured Arts Council cuts but the festival survives," says Fred Johnston. "The reaction to the festival is always very positive. There is every indication that it will grow. This year's line up features too some amazing music, from the renowned harper Paul Dooley to the wonderful, violin-playing of Yuki Nishioka. I can't praise highly enough the work of Gort Public Library and their openness to the festival."
