Thank you for the music
South of Ireland Band Championships 2021
The South of Ireland Band Championships due to be held in 2021 on 3th July unfortunately had to be cancelled. However after 41 years it was felt that we couldn't let the day pass without providing band music for all the people who for so many years have looked forward to the 1st Saturday in July for their band music 'fix'.
So at 9.30 a.m. on 3th July 2021 everyone will have an opportunity to view and listen to bands who have participated in the competition over the years here on this website.
This is not a competition nor is it a movie of all the bands participating. Instead it will follow the programme format of previous South of Ireland Band Championships where all of the bands are listed and instead of turning up at the appointed time in the Community Hall to listen to a particular band one can just click on the band of your choice.
It is hoped that this virtual band programme will go in some way to acknowledge all the great band performances over the years and the huge community interest and support for this event and ensure that the 1st Saturday in Clonakilty in July will always be about great music and the friendship that it brings.
