What is All Together Now festival and when is it taking place at Curraghmore Estate?
Nearly August, festival season well underway. This weekend, all roads lead to Curramore Estate in County Waterford for the annual All Together Now music festival. All Together Now, Louise Duffy. What are we singing?
All Together Now. We should sing Farm. Of course we should. All Together Now. Yeah. I don't know if they ever played it.
I won't join in.
I'll do it all the time. I shouldn't do it either. Yes, All Together Now. I'm really looking forward to it. It's such a lovely weekend there. You'd love it now. Bigfield, everyone in Wellies. It's great.
Why do you say that?
I just think you'd be at home there. You'd be really happy. But it is. Do you know what? It's a very... I'm sorry.
My attachment to flushing toilets is now so strong that my festival days are past me.
But you see, the music is so wonderful and it's such a lovely festival to get around. It's really easy to manoeuvre. You know, sometimes I watch Glastonbury and I think, God, that looks like so much work. This never feels like too much work. It is very, everything is in close proximity. There's such an array of music, comedy, food, wellness. It has it all. It's really nice. I think this is perhaps our fourth year going down with this show. And I just look forward to it very much every year.
Who's headlining?
Headlining we have, with Disclosure are there, Kneecap are there, Pulp and yeah, lovely. Pulp are going to be there.
There is some reason then for people of my generation.
Underworld, would they mean anything to you?
Of course, Born Slippy.
Yeah, so they have got a good array of headliners.
Did you hear that fraud Gavin Jennings trying to be interesting in playing Born Slippy on Morning Ireland?
You know, he loves his tunes. Gavin likes his tunes. He'll often suggest one to me. So we'll give it to him. But yeah, like I mean, there's such an array, like from Pulp to Underworld. That's a good mix. You've got Christy Moore there and some brilliant Irish artists like Sexy Tighe, the Mary Wallopers. So a real good array for all tastes at Caramore Estate.
Before we talk about the main stage, what are you going to be up to?
Well, Philip, I am doing all together now the Downton Abbey version, right? Because we are going to... Excuse me, Lady Duffy. I know, Lady Mary with headphones on. But we're going to head into the house. So last year, I mean, the house is really glorious, this beautiful house and the history and the stories within that building is something else. So last year I met some of the staff and I said, can I have a little look? And we It is open, I think, on a normal week for people to walk through. But it is absolutely phenomenal. So we had a look around and just broached the idea of perhaps this beautiful drawing room would be a great place to have a show and a session. So there's this drawing room to the front of the house.
And I mean, how they have preserved the wallpaper, the curtains, the furniture for hundreds of years. So we are going to park our bums there. All right.
Look at you then. I know. Scones and clotted cream.
Who are the headline acts and big-name performers scheduled for the weekend?
Exactly. High tea at 3pm.
Yes, and I'm going to be joined by somebody I have been dying to get on my show. I'm a real Mayo person. If you keep niggling and kneeling at something, it comes true and it happens.
We hadn't heard this week that you were from Mayo at all. Not even once.
All roads lead back, Philip. So if Rose Betts is going to join me... Sorry, officially, congratulations.
Thank you. Lest I sound like I'm being mealy-mouthed about it.
Sam McGuire ran through Crossamalina yesterday, all the way back to Villamolet. Absolutely glorious times. Everybody's so excited. But yes, like that, that tenacity. I've got Rose Betts on the show tomorrow, who I've been dying to see. A brilliant artist, really clever songwriter. She's joining me. I'm going to have the Awning, who I met last year at the All Together Now as well. Two Irish cousins, brilliant artists. I will also have Jacob Allon, who you may have seen on Graham Norton's couch. Really brilliant. They were on all of the ones to watch for 2026. And I'm going to be all of them joining me.
