Youth Council Performance Trail

A live music, dance and spoken word experience awaits. Meet at Abbey Street before winding your way through the streets of Clonmel between three distinct performance spaces – each with its own atmosphere – before converging at the outdoor finale on Abbey Street.

Following mentoring from curators Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan and Eamon O’Malley, the Youth Council present their Performance Trail – a reflection of a young creative’s journey.
