WELCOME TO SILVERWOOD IRELAND.

This is the business site for Lily de Sylva.... and it won't be here much longer!  
The site will be archived in a few weeks.  If you'd like to keep in touch with Lily's work, or contact her, 
you'll find all her farming and festival news at the two websites below.  
You can, of course, still follow all the news together on Twitter @Silverwoodirl

CLOUGHTOBERFEST

Picture
  Ireland's festival of gypsy jazz and craft beers, in the heart of the midlands, began in 2011 and has played host to the finest Irish gypsy swing bands, plus the cream of international artists.  Along with this wonderful music, we've also enjoyed some of Irelands best craft beers.... what a combination! Now, we realise that all this enjoyment is far too good to keep to ourselves... so in 2013, Cloughtoberfest will go on tour!
To keep up to date with the programme and venues, and for news of other Cloughtoberfest events, pop over to www.cloughtoberfest.com where you can catch some great photos and video from the festival so far, and join our mailing list to make sure that you never miss it again.
