DeBarra's Folk Club are celebrating Irish language and culture with Seachtain na Gaeilge 2025 in Clonakilty.

The annual festival kicked off on March 1 and extends until March 17. Events on the programme include music, comedy, spoken word and more.

Musical performers include John Spillane, Those Empty Vessels, the Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin Trio and Abair Amhrán. Áine Gallagher will also deliver a comedy act.

“People are often scared of the prospect of the Irish language” Gallagher said. “They worry that they won’t understand. But the thing I always try to stress is that I am not a fluent speaker. I am just a person who has a dorky love for the language and I want to share it in a fun and accessible way. So please come. We’ll have fun, I promise!”
