Clonakilty will celebrate its annual Bands Day with the 41st South of Ireland Band Championships on Saturday, July 4th.

Once again we look forward to welcoming you all to an occasion which will be as successful and enjoyable as in the past. Each year the recitals on the streets are warmly received and with your kind co-operation we hope to follow the same format again this year.

As we expect many visitors to town on that weekend it is important that bands staying overnight should book accommodation without delay. Contact Clonakilty Tourist Office at 023-8833226 or email chamber@clonakilty.ie

Dear Friends,

We are delighted to tell you that Clon 2019 promises to be an extra-special occasion, thanks to all of you who have entered the various categories in the 40th South of Ireland Band Championships which will take place on Saturday, July 6.

Due to the configuration of numbers, it will be necessary to have two competition venues again this year – the junior and senior categories in one and the intermediate in another which is being arranged at the moment. This venue will be Sacred Heart Secondary School which is close to the Community College and Hall.

We are looking forward to welcoming to Clonakilty our adjudicators, Mr Tom Davoren who will judge the intermediate category and Mr Philip Harper who will judge the junior and senior categories.

Calling all friends of the South of Ireland Band Championships 1980 – 2019

A Chairde,

Greetings from Clonakilty as we prepare to celebrate 40 years of the South of Ireland Band Championships. We salute all those who, over the years, have come either as participants or supporters and we hope that you can be with us on Saturday, July 6 for what promises to be an occasion of wonderful music and reunion.

We are keenly aware that many of the earlier band contacts are no longer relevant so please spread the word to other band colleagues and put them in touch with us. Should anybody have programmes from the early years, perhaps you will share them with us and be assured that they will be returned safely. We are in the process of compiling a commemorative programme which has to go to print on May 31.

Looking forward to meeting you all in Clon.

Eileen…
