Common Threads A Voyage of Music & Art
The Burren - North Clare
Oct. 10-13th 2025

27/03/2026

Hello lovelies, just a quick update on our plans for October. Please read below.

Don't worry, it's not the end. Just a gentle pause!

❣️

-

After a lot of thought, we’ve made the carefully considered decision to
take a pause on Common Threads this October.

The past three years have been really special.
What started as a small idea has grown into something we’re very proud of,
shaped by the artists, audiences, venues, local businesses
and the wider community who’ve carried it with us.

For now, it feels right to give it some breathing space.
A moment to take a step back and shape what we do next.

CT has always been about creating something meaningful and lasting
in the Burren, and this feels like the right time to honour that.

We'd like everyone to know that isn’t the end, just a pause.
Plans are already afoot for the return.

A big, heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us from the very
beginning and continues to do so.

We’ll share more when the time feels right.

The CT Team

Hello and good morning.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a whole week since our third year began. What a beautiful few days it was across the Burren; full of connection, creativity, and unforgettable music.

To every single person who bought a ticket, danced and moved, sang on a bus, bought merch, laughed or cried; thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❣️

To the artists who floored us with incredible performances, and to our unbelievable crew who kept things running so solidly behind the scenes, you are what makes it all possible.

And to our sponsors, venues, and the many valued and legendary members of our community who band together each year to help us achieve our vision and do what we do; we’re endlessly grateful. 💛

It’s hard to confine it all into 20 images and videos, but here goes.... (there will be more coming)

Slán for now, and see you next year 🪼
