The GAIF is one of the most professionally run festivals we’ve been to.

From the moment we got there to the moment we left we were well taken care of. Rare for an event in its third year to be so exceptional. Keep up the good work and we look forward to being a part of the festival next year!

You guys really have it all together there.

Best of luck on the years to come.

First time the festival was held and they did a terrific job

...Utica was a great success. It was great to hang out with The Fenians, Seanchai and others.

The festival was OUTSTANDING

I heard compliments all the while I was there from musicians and spectators alike about what a great event it was. It seems impossible that it was the first year. It was run better than many festivals that have been in existence for plenty more years. Congratulations to everyone involved!
