  1. >Irelands first music festival for Black & mixed race artists.

    They’ve decided to completely ignore the Festival of World Cultures that was running in Dun laoghaire for about 15 years?

    Weird, but ok.

  2. Not very inclusive in my opinion, skin colour isn’t supposed to matter it’s supposed to be content of character, on a more important note will there be seating and will the music be too loud to chat with my mates if I went 🤣

  3. Not very inclusive. Events like these only legitimise an “us versus them” attitude. While good intentioned it is counterproductive for society imo.

  4. > The festival focuses on representation in the community but is open for all to attend, and is aiming to spotlight artists, entrepreneurs and black-owned businesses around the country.

    Are ‘Black And Irish’ the ones putting the ‘Black-owned’ stickers on shop windows?, saw some on Capel St the other day for the first time.
