Back in the early 1980’s, Enniscorthy could be described as nothing short of a “Hot Bed” of Rock N’ Roll activity. Like most small Irish towns, the Rock N’ Roll and Rockabilly scene fell dormant for some time and lost both its international and national prominence. However, the die hards of Enniscorthy did not allow for their music to die out, and in more recent times, have re-ignited local interest putting Enniscorthy back on the Rockin’ map. Now the South East is swinging with more gigs, festivals and dances than ever before.
During the Enniscorthy Rockin’ Food Festival this August Bank Holiday, a vast collection of Rockabilly, Rock N’ Roll and Rhythm and Blues musicians and bands will perform over the course of the weekend. Expect to see The Jets, Livestock Davies, The Bellefords, Alan Power & The Aftershocks and more!
