Sonas Boutique – the new arts and wellbeing festival – went down a treat in Stradbally this weekend.
Taking place at the Malthouse on Saturday, Sonas hosted a music stage, wellness tent, therapy tent, food stalls, bar, cocktails and enchanted garden.
On the Sonas music stage, acts like Finale with special guests, James O’Connor, Midlands ISL Learners Choir and Music Generation Laois Jazzy Jam all performed.
Another feature which went down a treat was a new video from ‘Ollie Plunkett and The Lost Messiahs’. The track, ‘Lights Out’ is taken from the new album ‘Deconstruction of the Mind’.
Ten original tracks were written by Ollie Plunkett and recorded at Golden Egg Studios and the album was launched at Sonas Boutique Festival.
The Wellness tent hosted sound meditation, health and wellbeing talks, nutritional information and lots more.
While the Therapy tent featured Reflexology, Thai massage, Indian Head massage and energy balancing.
Meanwhile international cuisine, food stalls, crepes, tapas, sushi, pizza and cocktails were all enjoyed at Sonas.
Our photographer Julie Anne Miller went along on Saturday and she captured some great pictures:
