KAM

Kinvara Area Music (KAM) is a local, not for profit organisation promoting an eclectic mix of music and performance to the community here in Kinvara, Co Galway.

Concert committee members help produce each concert and work to present performing artists in the best possible way.

Our venue for concerts – the ‘GiG Room’ at the Kinvara Community Centre – is a curtained-off portion of the main hall with a modular stage and modern theatrical lighting. It has the feel of a performing arts facility, but with a warm, inviting ambience. It works well with acoustic music or sound reinforcement, and we think it meets well our requirement for intimate listening concerts.

We have gone on to improve the capacity of the GiG Room , while retaining its intimacy with new lighting and acoustics enhanced by reflective surfaces.

KAM is  open to anyone who supports its aim of furthering the musical and cultural life of Kinvara.

You don’t have to be a musician to get involved!

Our Vision:

A lively, diverse and inclusive cultural scene in the Kinvara area

Known far and wide for its traditional music, our village has in recent years attracted many highly talented musicians playing in a variety of musical genres: traditional Irish, tango, cajun, blues, old-time, bluegrass, folk, rock, classical, jazz, original, and the list is growing with lots of young people learning, playing and performing.

KAM projects help to nurture these resources and maintain this vibrant fulfilling environment.

Our Mission:

To maintain a lively and creative forum to support and help develop musical and performance activities in Kinvara.
