Quotes from Artists that have played here:

Moya Brennan.

" What a unique experience! There can't be anywhere else like Ballykeeffe in Ireland. Playing there was a pleasure - its intimate and easy to connect with the audience but at the same time there's a sense of grandeur and drama beneath the magnificent rockface. A gem of a place and I'm sure destined to become a favourite with all kinds of performers".
  
Noirinn Ni Riain.

" The amphitheatre was special and magical community resource.
The dramatic cliff face of the old quarry makes for a very impressive backdrop and the tiered seating is beautifully landscaped in a way that also maximises the acoustics".
  

cccANÚNA

"To return to this unique venue is always a pleasure, and we are assured of a warm welcome at all times - thank you"
