James and Tina Mc Keefry left Carrickfergus and Belfast in 1973 and settled in the Midlands of England. They brought with them from Ireland a wealth of experience in the world of Irish, Country, Folk and Showband music. Twenty years ago James began broadcasting for the BBC in the East Midlands producing and presenting the Celtic Fringe on a Wednesday evening from 7.00 p.m. - 9.00 p.m. Following on from some very happy weeks at Southport I & B Records Festival organised by their good friend Bill Delaney and after numerous requests from listeners for a Midlands Irish Music Festival James and Tina presented their first festival in 1996 at Sutton Bonington University Campus near to Nottingham. In 2006 it was apparent that a much larger venue was needed and after visiting numerous Holiday Villages all over the British Isles James and Tina visited Sand Bay Holiday Village and knew immediately that this was to be the new home of the Mc Keefry Irish Music Festivals. Their guests obviously agreed and the March Festival sold out in six weeks with a second festival organised for the following September and again this Festival was a success. With more and more Irish and Country Music lovers enquiring about accommodation James and Tina decided to hold four festivals each year and again made several journeys before settling on Mill Rythe Holiday Village. Each of the four Mc Keefry Irish Music Festivalsl boasts the top Irish and Country Bands and individual attention is given to each guest with both James and Tina personally handling the bookings and offering each guest the type of accommodation best suited to their needs. Each venue is very friendly for wheel chair users and all venues offer superb catering facilities and relaxation facilities. A simple phone call will ensure a prompt response. Do leave a message if the phone is not answered personally.
