“Our weekly programme ‘Out & About in Ireland’ is getting a phenomenal reaction right around Ireland with a very loyal viewership every week in the UK and USA also,” commented IRISH TV producer Pierce O’Reilly. “We love coming to Donegal especially when it comes to music because there is such a rich tradition of music in this county whether it’s traditional, rock or folk and whether it’s a small gathering in a pub to a big festival like the Rory Gallagher Tribute in Ballyshannon.”

Barry O’Neill, organiser of the Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival stated, “Firstly it is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the region but it’s also great to be able to highlight a different side to Donegal, a rockier, more contemporary element,” he said.

The programme will feature lots of the magical melodies from the Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival the IRISHTV show will also sample tasty treats from the Burren Slow Food Festival in Co. Clare, take on the Croagh Patrick 7 Day Challenge in Co. Mayo, and test its handicap at the K Club in Co. Kildare.
