Rathlin Sound Festival 2024

As part of this year’s Rathlin Sound Maritime Festival, Wendy Jack was proud to present a very special and unique concert. Wendy performed a selection of songs each in someway inspired by Rathlin and her time living and working on the island. The concert took place in the beautiful surrounds of St. Thomas’s Church on Rathlin, situated right at the harbour looking out across the ‘Sound’.

Each of Wendy’s special guests provided extra magical moments… from the beautiful songs of renowned singer Jean Cleary to the intricate heartfelt harmonica playing from the legend Hugh Hainey. Then, a fitting finalé of sea shanties from the amazing ‘Tuned In Collective’ – pure joy!

Thanks to everybody who helped to make this event such a great success.

Here’s a short highlights video…

37th Ballyshannon Folk and Traditional Music Festival

On Saturday 2nd August I’ll be making the trip to Ballyshannon to take part in their 37th folk and traditional music festival. It’s always been a prestigious event in Ireland’s music calendar so I’m excited to be making my debut. I will perform a solo acoustic ‘showcase’ starting at 12.30pm on the Bridgend stage.  Head-lining the festival this year is none other than Paul Brady with a plethora of other legendary acts scattered throughout the programme. It’s gonna be great fun.
