Body & Soul returned to Ballinlough Castle in Co. Westmeath over the weekend.
5,000 festival goers transcended into a world of immersive music, art, wellbeing, sustainability and tantalizing food, in the woods and walled gardens of the stunning estate.
The first two days of Ireland’s most expressive festival did not disappoint and satisfied the longing for live music felt over the last two years.
Body & Soul 2022 highlights included a live performance from RóisÃn Murphy, a special DJ and AV set by Jon Hopkins and a Sunday night finale from Mogwai.
MC and poet Sampa The Great, Lisa O’ Neill & Crash Ensemble, EFÉ, Sprints, Pillow Queens and Soda Blonde also performed over the weekend, as well as CMAT, King Kong Company, Lee Fields, Mother DJs, Yard Act and Yves Tumor.
David Kitt, Shane Daniel Byrne and David O’Doherty were among the acts who performed at the Bulmers Secret Orchard at the festival.
Winner of the Bulmers Art Bursary Shantanu Starick’s artwork was displayed at the Bulmers Secret Orchard at Body & Soul.
Starick was awarded the Bulmers €5,000 art bursary for his innovative ‘bee-inspired’ living artwork installation in celebration of Ireland’s wild bees.
Using natural materials and plants, the interactive artwork is inspired by the distinctive buzz of Irish wild bees and is designed to attract pollinators and provide a bee-friendly habitat that encourages biodiversity.
