Busk It! @ Showgrounds Shopping Centre
Last Saturday we gathered at Showgrounds for the first Busk It!, a busking project to raise money for The Bumbag Tapes and Whats’s On Clonmel to help us keep promoting this amazing town.
Many thanks to the amazing musicians who came to play, and to everybody who joined us for an afternoon of music away from the rain.
We had a great time, and hopefully we will repeat next month. Stay tuned!

It costs over €8,000 a year to fund What’s On Clonmel, but donations are not always enough to cover our costs. Please help us continue this work with a donation, every bit helps!
