August bank holiday weekend, the sun is splitting the rocks, the aroma of sizzling organic fare weaves through the air, a cool pint of Murphy's is at hand, and the very best bands, DJs and comedians provide the soundtrack to the day.
Sound good? We can promise it all at Cork X Southwest 2009, well, except for the sun, but we're praying hard and it's all tented so even the rain can't stop the fun!
