An exciting long weekend coming!
Yes – it’s that time of year when we mix music and shellfish!! And only the best; Irish Traditional music and fresh local oysters. The May Bank Holiday Weekend in Carrigaholt provides plenty of menu choices besides the shellfish too and all deliciously prepared.
Music everywhere as you can see in the poster below! On Friday I will be in Keane’s lovely homely pub (overlooking the pier) joining Breda (vocals and bodhrán) and Colin Sheehan (concertina). Please feel welcome to join us there from 9pm Friday 29th April.
Watch out also for the Loop Head walking festival – you could have the best combination of exercise, local scenery, local food and of course, local music!! https://www.facebook.com/LoopHeadWalkingFestival/
Our session in Keanes Bar, Carrigaholt last night was hoppin’ – due in no small part to our good friend Colin Sheehan who was in flying form on the concertina! 🙂
I have no pictures 😦 but there was a video taken for the bar so you might get a flavour…
We had a fine fiddler who was visiting again this year from the states – Suzanne, Breda with some lovely songs and bodhrán, Matt backing nicely on guitar with a couple of songs too and my Dad joined us too for some tunes!
The festival continued for the entire weekend in Carrigaholt and indeed the entire peninsula (walks are highly recommended!) so see you there next year!
