West Cork Folk was quite simply born out of our love for West Cork!
Born and raised here in Bandon, we're Phil & Dave the founders of West Cork Folk. Being from Bandon (the Gateway to West Cork!) the natural direction for family holidays and weekends away throughout our lives has been 'Wesht Along'! The memory bank from the 80s and early 90s overflows recollecting long beach days you didn't want to end, BBQs in the dunes, playing evening GAA on freshly cut pitches to Irish College on Cape Clear.
Adult life brought nights out in Baltimore, Schull and Glandore, camping trips to Glengarriff, hikes in Lough Hyne, Sheeps Head & Seven Heads and endless coffees! When the kids arrived, we started revisiting our old childhood haunts all over again!
From Kinsale to the Beara Peninsula, West Cork is the most Southwest corner of Ireland. Rolling countryside and a stunning coastline stacked with headlands and sandy beaches, West Cork is a haven for foodies and artistic talent. World class bars, cafés and restaurants are plentiful in the area.
Starting off, West Cork Folk aims to invoke a feeling of pride in the area....we know there is already but our products can be used as a constant bright and colouful reminder!
We'd like to give a special mention to Clonakilty's Nína Cáit who has done all of our graphic design, including the West Cork Folk brand and back in 2019 our GREY HERON branding! Thanks Nina.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by...hope you like what we've done to date....plenty more to come!
