As many already know we have reluctantly decided not to go ahead with the IGG in 2009, mainly for financial reasons. However, we are keeping open the possibility of coming back to life in the future.
The old Irish Green Gathering website is now frozen, though we are leaving it up for anyone who wants to go there. More photos of the 2008 Gathering will be uploaded here to this new site which we manage ourselves and through which we shall communicate in the future. We shall maintain the existing email address info@irishgreengathering.com for anyone who wants to get in touch but we have closed down the dedicated phone line 053 9255671.
My own feeling about the festival is that 2008 was pretty good (though we still managed to lose a little money) but that if we revive it in the future we shall want to go more ‘green’ and less ‘rock’; and generally less ambitious and smaller in scale. Growth is not our objective. Financial sustainability is however essential.
Thanks to all who have helped us in the past and remember that although we are now dormant we are not necessarily dead.
