 just great and sounds as fresh as it did back in the day and there's a chance actually to see the undertones live here in Donegal the next month because they're playing at Oak Fest and they'll be there on the 11th of September in fact Oak Fest is over two days so Saturday the 10th and Sunday the 11th and it's a great line up because the headlines the headline act is the undertones on Sunday and they're supported by No Crows that's a band that features the Steve Wickham from The Water Boy, at least a land, there's Rory and the Islands, there's Rowan, old-time share boss and Tommy Bonner yes all on the one day and there's another day of music as well but listen why should I tell you about it when I've got the David Fisher the estate manager at Oakfield Park on on the line now and David is joining us. David good afternoon. Good afternoon John. How are things over at Oakfield Park these days? Yeah great great we've had a great season this 2022 the year that events came back so we've had some really great events and some great ones still to come. Well like everybody else you had such a start time with it I know you know for the most part it's all outdoors but you still you know it was tough it was you were closed for a time and then those restrictions but this year it's just been back to normal and I'm sure it's been great. Yes it's been great to get back doing our events since the first time since 2019 really getting to do them all and I mean even this weekend we have a couple with a Superhero Saturday and a Steam Sunday this weekend so and then Santa goes and sale next week so that's well we're not the earliest that goes and sale but you have to yet you have to about 50% of it sells in the first week normally so you have to be out early. And they organised well I know it's been a number of events all year and they continue and big of a calendar is Oak Fest and you've managed to secure the undertones I saw them actually earlier in the year dinner for every young until there and they were absolutely great they were buzzing and the whole crowd going and it's great that the back playing live again and you've managed to secure them as headliners but they're just the headline act you've got you've got two days of music in fact not just one. Yeah originally it was released as a one and it is thanks to you know we have three main sponsors Emerald Guitars, Divers, the Hyundai and Sonny McSwine's and it was thanks to them that we can get these great acts on the Sunday but then Emerald Guitars came back with a Saturday lineup that we could add and we decided together that we'd add it for nothing so the original 30-year-old cost for the Sundays now gives you access for the full weekend and round about 20 different acts. So people who originally bought tickets for the festival it was a one-day festival and now they get a second day added in but there's no extra cost. No extra cost so anybody who had a ticket their ticket will now apply or anybody who gets the last few tickets the same thing you can call them both days and the second day is fantastic as well because Emerald have assembled you know a lineup with Ryan Sheridan headlining who's been here before. Mickey Jo Hart, Davy Kaye Project, Sailor Bill Band, Tanya McCall and the Kevin Quigley Band and they're still adding acts to that Saturday so it's just great to give something that's really good value I think this especially this year. And it's live music, it's live original music, there's a strong Donegal element there obviously. Yes there's a Donegal theme throughout really even bands like Rowan who haven't played here before have you know partial Donegal representations and makings the same so yeah throughout there there's a great contingent. And it's a family event as well and so far as what you make your family friendly as you possibly can but also the ticket admission being children are half price and then children under a certain age are free. Yes yes under under threes are always free here but yeah we always make it as family friendly as possible we have alcohol free zones and the trains running throughout the two days and there's all sorts of other things for children going on but then there is a very much an adult area with the fall bar and everything as well so it's a bit of something for everyone you know. Well it's Oak Fest is two days the 10th and 11th of September and where can people get tickets or get more information? You can go on our own website oakfreetpark.com and the Oak Fest page or you can get the tickets from Ticketmaster.ie as well but there's only I think less than 10% left at this point. All right don't talk about it. Headlined by the undertones but it's a full line up both on the Sunday and as you mentioned there on the Saturday so two days of great music coming up at Oakfield Park at Oak Fest. David the best luck with it thanks for joining us. Thank you Joe. Thank you. Thanks David. Thanks again Joe. Appreciate that. Cheers.
