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". | | | |

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