This year Smithwick's is celebrating 300 years of brewing craft and tradition in Kilkenny. Founded by John Smithwick in 1710 he chose the site of an ancient monastery, St Francis Abbey in Kilkenny, to position his brewery. Due to this heritage and Smithwick's reaching this momentous occasion we are delighted that the Kilkenny Rhythm and Roots Festival will be celebrated with the Smithwick's brand being the principal sponsor at the festival.

Thanks to everyone that came along. A short break and then we'll start all over again for the 14th Smithwick's Kilkenny Rhythm and Roots Festival, April 29th to May 2nd 2011! "By now a national institution and an international buzz-phrase among the Americana / Roots movement...Ireland’s most compact and hospitable music festival, where virtually everything is low-key but high grade"
Irish Times.
"For the last ten years Kilkenny has played host to many of the best roots-rock, alt-country and Americana acts at the magnificent Rhythm and Roots Festival."
Irish Examiner.
"The premier alt country and folk-roots festival in this country."
Hot Press.
"Like a mini-SXSW without the queuing or taxi-panic."
