| KILLARNEY, Co. Kerry (Mar. 6, 2024) — Your Roots Are Showing - Ireland's Folk Conference, now in its 3rd year, has truly established itself as a cornerstone event for the global folk community, and its significance is now further emphasized by its new home at The Gleneagle Hotel in County Kerry. This pivotal move underlines the conference's growing stature and its commitment to providing an unmatched platform for the celebration, education, and networking within the folk, roots, and traditional music spheres.
The conference has been a revelation since its inception, offering an unparalleled lineup of live performances that captivate attendees with the artistry of both emerging talents and seasoned experts. Beyond performances, the event is a hub for meaningful industry connections at its enriching hands-on workshops, trade and gig fairs, and thought-provoking panel discussions featuring leaders on the most pressing issues and emerging trends in folk and traditional genres.
Your Roots Are Showing, a nonprofit organisation, was born out of a vision by its founders Charlene Sloan and Brendan McCreanor, who identified a gap in Ireland for such an expansive and inclusive event. Their initiative was to create a space that not only showcases talent but also addresses the practical concerns of musicians, such as travel, accommodation, and visas, thereby making Ireland a gateway to Europe for the international folk music community. The conference's core mandate is to bridge the gap for music industry professionals between all continents and Europe, offering showcasing, professional development, and networking opportunities for artists and professionals at all career stages.
The decision to anchor the conference in County Kerry, with its vibrant music scene and breathtaking landscapes, is a testament to the organizers' vision of creating a deeply immersive experience. The Gleneagle Hotel, with its rich history of hosting world-class musicians and events, is the perfect venue to support this vision, promising to foster the connections that are vital to the essence of folk music.
Registration for the third annual conference (Jan. 15-19, 2025) is now open HERE, and promo code ROOTS25 can be used for booking the hotel. Showcase Artist applications open on April 5.
