ArteFact checks out the Mallow Arts Festival, the Ardmore Pattern Festival and a BBQ at Greywood Arts in Killeagh. The BBQ features 2 touring American acts Ink the Octopus and Clare Byrne. Clare talks to us about her Irish connections, choreography and music.

Donald Brady talks about Edwardian novelist Katherine Cecil Thurston whose link with Ardmore is celebrated at this year's festival. Tadhg Curtis speaks about the Mallow Arts Festival including the re-enactment of Daniel O'Connell's monster meeting at Mallow in 1843, the year of repeal.

"Weenie" is a new play by Finbar Hannon that looks at Cork's love affair with Youghal in the early 1960s. Youghal Online's Michael Hussey went behind the scenes at rehearsal and we bring you the sounds of a play in development.
