If bringing the people of Longford on an unforgettable journey through diverse art forms and captivating performances was the goal of this year's Cruthú arts festival then the programme directors will be pleased with their achievements. “I am absolutely delighted with the way it went,” Gene Rhatigan, Festival Chairperson, said of the event, “It's our 10th year. We have had a lot of changes, this year we moved in different directions. We did a good deal of travelling to research how other festivals put their programme together, scouting new acts and finding new ways to engage with our audience. We were really thrilled with the way things went, everything was really well supported.” From the opening exhibition in Providers to the spectacular Ro with the Flow fire show outside at St Mel's Cathedral it was six days of supreme entertainment. Longford Leader / Longford Live Photographer Shelley Corcoran was in situ for the vast majority of it all to capture much of the excitement. Don't forget to tag and share with your friends!
