This is one of our busiest weeks yet. Celebrations for International Working Women's Day, the Finding a Voice festival brings music by women composers through the ages, new bands from all over Tipperary gather for the Battle of the Bands competition. Lectures, classes, workshops, social clubs, sports, music sessions, there is so much to do this week that we had to redesign the guide to fit 88 events in only 4 pages. We hope you like it!
Our Six Month Party & Fundraiser is going to be on the 13th of March. We are inviting all the community to come together to support What's On Clonmel. There will be a raffle with fantastic prizes donated by local businesses, performances by local artists, and an Open Mic/Jam Session open to all. Get in touch with us if you would like to contribute to the raffle or perform on the night.
