PERFORMERS ABOUT LENT

Colm Croffy, Director of AOIFE - Association of Irish Festival Events: "Of all the festivals I've ever saw, yours has the advantage that it is connected to local environment and local population. Local audience represents the core of the festival and grows with it. Therefore, the visitors trust in it and can take a walk through the Lent promenade without knowing what is on that evening. That gives Lent the base for long-term success and development that a lot of festivals lack, since they are thrown into the environment.

Adam Lane, Adam Lane's Full Throttle Orchestra, Jazz Lent: "We visited other venues and listened to other performers and we agree this festival is wonderful. There are only a few festivals like yours, which includes good specific music and large crowds of visitors. It is good to be surrounded by happy faces that support the work of artists
