Back in the early 1980’s, Enniscorthy could be described as nothing short of a “Hot Bed” of Rock N’ Roll activity. Like most small Irish towns, the Rock N’ Roll and Rockabilly scene fell dormant for some time and lost both its international and national prominence. However, the die hards of Enniscorthy did not allow for their music to die out, and in more recent times, have re-ignited local interest putting Enniscorthy back on the Rockin’ map. Now the South East is swinging with more gigs, festivals and dances than ever before.
During the Enniscorthy Rockin’ Food Festival this May Bank Holiday Weekend a vast collection of Rockabilly, Rock N’ Roll and Rhythm and Blues musicians and bands will perform over the course of the weekend. Why not follow or delve in and out of the Rock N’ Roll Town Weekend Gig Trail, find full details on the trails brochure. Rock your socks off this May Bank Holiday in the Rock N’ Roll town of Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford.
Save the date and make sure you get down to Enniscorthy for another rockin’ year of festival fun.
