The Butterfly Band
After an awesome performance at Spraoi last Friday and All Together Now last Saturday, The Butterfly Band are back with a bang. They are performing again this Sunday in the Haven Hotel. If you weren’t lucky enough to get tickets for that sold out gig, don’t worry. The Haven have booked them for a second gig on Thursday, August 17. Get your tickets while you still can. There are free buses back to Waterford after the show.
Waterford Walls
And of course, we’re excited for the return of Waterford Walls 2023. The festival has a full programme featuring 10 days of street art, music, accessible workshops and guided tours. Starting tomorrow, August 11, until Sunday August 20, the festival has grown to an unprecedented scale this year. Read more about it here. Don’t miss it!
