DeBarras Folk Club

For almost 40 years DeBarra’s Folk Club in the beautiful seaside town of Clonakilty has been a home for music, earning a reputation that has travelled far beyond the confines of its West Cork home. Long-standing associations with Noel Redding (The Jimi Hendrix Experience) Paddy Keenan (The Bothy Band), Sharon Shannon and folk artists Christy Moore and Roy Harper have served as the cornerstones of this little venue’s worldwide renown as one of the finest music houses in Ireland. Musicians from all genres and generations have fed into the Folk Club’s magical history, with every performance weaving themselves into the brickwork of its worn, familiar walls. “It is the presence of an unlikely musical venue that makes Clonakilty truly special however, to cross the well-worn threshold of the shy and rather retiring DeBarra’s Folk Club, is to enter into a world full of possibilities. The possibility that anyone, literally anyone, might ramble in off the street and do a few tunes.” – Mark McDevitt (Irish Examiner) As well as delicious pints and music, DeBarras is renowned for its hearty lunch menu!
