Introduction
The sea sessions is a three day festival located in Bundoran Co. Donegal in the beautiful north west of Ireland that has been described as being one of the best surf, skate and music festivals in Europe. Now in it's second year (2009) and continuing into it's third in 2010 offers a weekend of over forty live music acts, surfing, skating, arts, food and bars along with the natural charm of Bundoran town for young and old all for a price of €53.50 for a weekend ticket and €35 for a single day ticket making it easy to see why this is a very desirable destination for any would be festival goer.
