well i'm new here. how do yrs do? bin guestin now a while. can remember a thread awhile back with some wonderin as to who, what, where were the 100s of onlookers!? dont have much time onhand at present but when i can its to u lot i come first for reviews and clues. I'm sure whats said and done is appreciated by many more than yr would think. Thanks for all the photos and enthusin over the recent shows! Some of the best are the show threads, a real buzz for those not there and a great build up for me finally nearing the shows I'm headin for. SlANE!! and O2 x3!!!

8pm onwards Fri 17th... hopin to meet someof yrs there!

cheers Ger

Sounds like a good plan. I will be in the west (Dingle) until the 18th and leave for London on the 20th. So if anyone from this board is going to be in Dublin on the 19th. We should meet at a pub and discuss how great the Slane show was.

My guess is that same venue will do fine for day after recovery too. Prob a fair few headin to london on monday.

Ahh Dingle, one of the real beauty spots. It takes a while to get there but sure is worth it. a mecca for irish trad!

Any recommended Pubs in Dingle? Know anything about the Blue Zone?
I will be flying into Kerry on the 15th, renting a car, heading east early in the morning of the 18th.

long time since i've been there, this one's good for music

dont know of the bluezone though. Driving through Kerry/West Cork is one of life's great pleasures, even when it pours down! this summer is very much every season in one day, be ready for anything!

Thanks for the info!
