Equal parts music and mayhem. The best Irish festival by far. Can’t fault it in any way… although it could have gone on for a few more days and I still wouldn’t have wanted to leave.
A very special musical nod must be given to Attention BeBe… epic sets, including the one on the double decker bus.
If anyone would like to use the pix then please be my guest. All’s I ask that you keep the tag line intact (I’m a self promotion ho).

Hard Working Class Hero’s is a 3 day music showcase for unsigned Irish bands. A bloody great idea but a bit disappointing this year.
No big surprises. Adebisi Shank were by far the best band of the weekend. Followed by Funeral Suits, Villagers, We Cut Corners, Robotnik and Kill Krinkle Club. Honorable mentions to Kyon, Yes Cadets, Sweet Jane and Tiny Magentic Pets and Heritage Centre.
I dunno, maybe im gettin jaded with Irish music, or just extra fussy as i’m exposed to so much of it first hand. Or maybe there really isn’t a lot of exciting tunes happening here right now… have they all emigrated?
All i can say is Thank Fuck for Adebisi Shank… if it wasn’t for them, the weekend would have been a wash.
oh and as for the Photography Exhibition…. best not mention the war.
