Sugarbeat left them screaming for more

THE sun shone, then the rain came, but everyone left SugarBeat with a smile. In just two years Tuam’s music festival has doubled in size and has firmly embedded itself on the national festival map.
The two-day event has been an overwhelming success which has left local businesses, music fans and bands with a massive feel-good factor.
Organisers Shane Donnellan and Rossi Sheridan took a risk adding a second day in only the festival’s second year but it succeeded in attracting at least an extra 1,000 new people to the festival this year. Already, people are asking what’s planned for SugarBeat Part 3.
