HearSay26 Festival is back and underway in Kilfinane, promising a gathering of the world’s finest audio creators

The beloved and utterly unique Audio Arts Festival, HearSay, returns to the Limerick mountain village of Kilfinane from Thursday, May 7 to Sunday, May 10.
The premise of HearSay26 is simple – a gathering of the world’s finest audio creators in Kilfinane to nourish the sense of possibility and to inspire Creative Audio in all its forms.
After a break for renewal, the HearSay International Audio Festival once again brings together international award-winning contributors and those breaking new ground from all disciplines of creative audio; radio features, podcasts, film sound, sound art, theatre, and audio fiction to foster collaboration & imagination.
Organisers say, “Seventeen Venues in our home village, from living rooms and chapels to barbershops and gardens, will host deep dives into the craft of creative audio, thoughtful reflections, powerful provocations, unique experiments, surprising encounters, creative challenges, immersive experiences, tea and scones.”
The festival promotes passion and free-flowing inspiration with no name badges rooted in a real sense of community. There will be over 100 events in a joyful gathering of audio adventurers from an expected 30 countries. (HearSay is truly international with over 75% of Multi-day “Immerse” Passes for our last physical festival taken up attendees from outside Ireland).
The organisers said, “Thank you to our amazing crew, passionate contributors, open-hearted participants and the people of Kilfinane for making Audio Heaven possible.”
