Mitchelstown Festival is Here...

ShowBizIreland.com joined the launch party of The 2002 Mitchelstown Guinness Music Festival on Tuesday night and prepped the stars for the big weekend.

At the party in Dublin's 4 Dame Lane venue where music lovers, media and Ireland's movers and shakers were out in force guzzling Guinness, feeding on festival feasts and enjoying a live sample what's in store for the August Bank Holiday Weekend.

The Classic Beatles warmed up the music hungry crowd with old Beatles favourites and up-and-coming RnB heart-throb Luke Thomas wowed the audience with his stunning new debut single.
