The full programme for this year’s Forfey Festival in Fermanagh (ahh, alliteration) has been confirmed. The festival takes place over the weekend of August 7-9 at Forfey Farm, near Lisnaskea in County Fermanagh, and promises “a weekend of top class entertainment, fine company, good coffee and beautiful surroundings.”

On the entertainment front, they are spot-on, with Adebisi Shank (pictured), ASIWYFA, Not Squares, Six Star aHotel, Panama Kings, Lowly Knights and Kinnego Flux all slated to appear. There’s also a significant non-musical element as well, with art exhibitions, workshops, talks and assorted other mind-expanding attractions.
