“[Brosna] is known as the birthplace of traditional Irish music, and the village of Brosna certainly lived up to its reputation when it hosted the Con Curtin Traditional Festival.” – June 21, 2001 The Kerryman.

A pretty hill-top village overlooking the Feale Valley. The striking ruin of Kilmurray Castle dates from the 16th century. The attached fortified house was built in the following century.

Brosna Fair started in 1853 and was a major business and social occasion. The local farmers came to sell their livestock and other produce. When their business was completed they met and socialised in the village pubs. The last fair held in Brosna was in the early 1900′s.

Now Brosna is back on the map with the Con Curtin Traditional Music Festival!
