Carlow Live & Local

Presented by Carlow County Council Arts Office and curated by Carlow based live music producers Fiach Moriarty and Walter Hennessy, Carlow Live & Local returns to the festival for three days of the best local talent.

Featuring County Carlow favourites and emerging new talent, Carlow Live & Local provides back-to-back good times across its two stages – both of which are housed inside the O’Hara’s Big Top – meaning you’ll never miss a beat in the eclectic and impressive line-up of musicians.

Access to Carlow Live & Local and other music events is via the 2024 Music Pass. The Music Pass gives you unlimited access to all Carlow Live & Local events, including the Cobden Hall Sessions - a programme of immersive and intimate performances in Carlow College’s Cobden Hall featuring The Carole Nelson Trio, Jimmy Behan, Indeceltic, and Zoe Ryan. The pass also grants access to the Saturday night performance by Dublin rockers Basht.

Carlow Live & Local is an initiative created and managed by Carlow County Council Arts Office, and Carlow Arts Festival are thrilled to be hosting the programme once more.
