DeBarra's Folk Club

"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 de Barras Folk Club, is to enter into a world full of possibilities. The possibility that anyone, literally anyone, might ramble in of the street and do a few tunes."
Mark Mc Devitt, (Irish Examiner 2000)

"There’s Carnegie Hall, The Royal Albert, Sydney Opera House and then there’s De Barra's," - Christy Moore, (August 2003)

'There probably isn't a better, more comfortable, more 'feel like you're in your own living room' gig in the country. Long may you run.' - Declan Sinnott (October 2013)

''All music is 'Folk' Music, I 'aint never heard a horse sing a song!'
