Ballydehob Country Music
Ballydehob, Co. Cork
Fri 29 May 2026 - Mon 01 Jun 2026
Running from Friday 31st May to Monday 3rd June, this years’ event features a fantastic line up of artists performing in different venues around the village. From free gigs in the bars to exciting star events in the community hall, it’s going to be a blast!
EFFIE NEILL and the BARRY DOYLE BAND will be kicking off the dance night programme when she takes to the stage in the hall on Friday night, 31st May.
Effie has been going from strength to strength since winning the Cowboys & Heroes singing competition in 2023, and her subsequent single ‘Country Is Best’ has resonated with listeners as it surpasses 100k plays online. Her brilliant voice has lead to further exposure on The Hot Country TV Show and Effie’s audience has expanded as her music is heard beyond these shores.
Whilst performing since a very young age, it’s fair to say that her recent success brings a great new talent into the wider Irish Country Music scene.
Tickets available at the door on the night.
