The Marquee In Drumlish – August 19th to 22nd 

After a gap of three years, all roads lead to the famous Marquee in Drumlish Festival this weekend. We are back better than ever, starting on Friday August 19th until Monday the 22nd. We have a fantastic line up to ensure another entertaining weekend. On Friday night our very own Brave Giant are back for one more gig and will be followed by DJ Fergal D’Arcy. On Saturday we have Claudia Buckley, Jimmy Buckley and Derek Ryan. On Sunday night the line-up is The Midlanders, our own Brocklagh lads Cronin and then of course the amazing Aslan who are headlining the night. We round off the festival on Monday night with the main event – The Declan Nerney Night, which promises to finish a terrific festival in style, as always. Thank you to our event sponsors Mike and Martin Mulleady of Mulleady Properties who are back on board again this year. We look forward to seeing you all there!
