Blackstairs Blues Festival

Blackstairs Blues Festival The Blackstairs Blues Festival Enniscorthy, is Ireland's longest consecutively running Blues festival. "Blues is subtle, brutal, ecstatic, mournful.

It is music of the soil, of the street , of the heart. It is deceptively simple in structure, boundless in expressiveness". Tom Wheeler, Guitar Player Magazine, April 1990
