‘My first Buskfest and not the last. Would just like to say that the organisers were fantastic, and the people of Banbridge were some of the most helpful, friendliest people I have had the pleasure to entertain and be entertained by. A brilliant day. And many new friends made.’

Jarlath P. Cooke, Belfast. (previous busker and prizewinner)

‘The event substantially raises the profile of Banbridge town centre by attracting over 6000 people to the town every year. The increased footfall is extremely beneficial to local businesses.’

Roisin McAleenan, Chairperson, Banbridge Chamber of Commerce and Trade
