JW Promotions are delighted to finally see an ambition become a reality by staging the “UTV Country Music Festival” that will take place in Dungannon Park Co.Tyrone on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd August 2008.
The festival will see over 50 International, National and local acts perform on three stages and will run each day from 1pm-11pm. Country Music has a huge following in Ireland and the announcement of such an event of this magnitude will be very well received. The main stage will see most of the American acts perform with the likes of George Jones, Ricky Skaggs, Nanci Griffith, Gene Watson  and Vernon Oxford to name  only a few that will enthral the large expected audiences on each of the festival days.

 

All the American acts will appear on both days as will 95% of the other performers.

 

Performer and stage running order for the Country Fest weekend is available here.

Where to Stay- It’s the friendly service that makes all our places to stay so special - the B&B owner who takes you to the hen-house to choose new-laid eggs for your Ulster Fry breakfast; the hotel barman who gives you a lift into town; the guesthouse chambermaid who volunteers to look after the children so you can enjoy a night out. All of us will do our best to make you feel at home, which is why you may stay a little longer in Tyrone than you planned! All accommodation providers accept Euros and are registered with the Northern Ireland Tourist Board. The Sperrins region is one of Northern Ireland’s most scenic regions. A rugged pattern of mountains, bogland and inland waters... a striking landscape virtually unaffected by the passage of time. Then there's the people of the Sperrins and their heritage and culture…even by Irish standards, we are renowned for our special warmth and hospitality.
