Natasha Duffy, Spirit of Folk Festival Posted on September 17, 2023 by planirl
Natasha Duffy is festival coordinator for the Spirit of Folk Festival, a three-day, family friendly festival running from 21st - 23rd September in Dunderry Park, Co Meath. Shortlisted in 2011 for ‘Best New Festival’ in the European Festival awards, Spirit of Folk returns next weekend with a unique slant on the traditional Irish camping festival. The festival prides itself on its dedication to all things folk, and promises to celebrate the harvest season in style.
Having started her education in Film Production, Natasha discovered an affinity for spreadsheets and ticking off to-do lists and ventured into the world of event management. She has worked for the walks and treks department of MS Ireland and before embarking on the Spirit of Folk Festival, worked with the Bealtaine Festival which celebrates creativity in older people.

Because I am a Girl I ask…for everyone to understand each others individual troubles and to try a wee bit every day to help someone.
Because I am a Girl I believe…that all people should be treated with compassion.
Because I am a Girl I hope…there comes a day when people across the world do not have to face the threat of violence; sexual, domestic or through war.
Because I am a Girl I wonder…why I never have matching socks!
Because I am a Girl I dream…of a contented future where I am suddenly good at gardening, baking and cleaning (its not likely to happen soon!)
Because I am a Girl I remember…my first time falling in love.
Because I am a Girl I like…clothes, films, music, dancing and most recently UFC!
Because I am a Girl I dislike…bullies, or anyone trying to take advantage of someone.
Because I am a Girl I feel…a lot! Love, sadness, fear, hope and coming up to the festival NERVOUS EXCITEMENT!
Because I am a Girl I celebrate…all the people out there willing to stand up for someone in need. It takes guts and should always be noticed.
