5 weeks and counting…

Danny Boy Jazz and Blues Festival – Five Weeks to Go !

It seems hard to believe, but not long since the last snow has fallen on the lovely Roe Valley (aka the birth place of Danny Boy), and it’s just 5 short weeks till the Danny Boy Jazz and Blues Festival of Limavady kicks off for the 19th time.

Yes, round about this time 5 weeks, like many of you, I will be brushing the dust off my dancing shoes, getting the hair and makeup done, releasing the moths from my wallet and taking to the streets of Limavady for this truly “once in a year” event !

The festival kicks off in splendid style this year, as we welcome the wonderful Rackhouse Pilfer back to a Limavady stage.  This special opening event will be hosted at the Roe Valley Arts and Cultural centre, and is sure to spring a few surprises on the night.   Tickets are still available via our online ticket store here – doors open at 8.00pm.   Remember, ALL other events at our festival are FREE to the general public, thanks to the generosity of our local venues and businesses, and the tireless hard work of the Festival Committee, so make sure you come along and support this opening event !

After enjoying the festival kick off, slide on down to Frank Owens Marquee, where The Big Brass Swing Band will groove us smoothly through to Friday…

And that’s Day 1 complete.  Just a gentle warm up really.  Day 2 awaits…

The countdown continues on the bottom right hand corner of our website !
