Mountshannon Arts Festival are looking forward to welcoming John Spillane, one of Ireland's most accomplished songwriters as the headline act for their festival during this year's June Bank Holiday weekend.

John, award winning musician, songwriter, performer, recording artist, storyteller, poet and dreamer will perform within the hallowed historical walls of St Caimin's 18th Century Church of Ireland on Saturday 4th June.

Rooted in people, place and story, John's music transports the listener, and his live performances captivate audiences around the world and his performance in this intimate venue is not to be missed.

In the concert John will be supported by rising star Julie Martin, recent winner of Clare FM's talent search. Julie is a musician and songwriter with a voice and presence that belies her age. From her earliest days, Julie has been immersed in music of all genres inspiring her to write and play her own songs.
