I'm at the height of confusion regarding a music festival that my dad keeps goin on about.....
the name of the place sounds like 'tobacory' but obiously my spelling isn't correct so any searches i do bear no results. can any1 enlighten me.
(ps.... this tobacory place is somewhere in ireland)
anyway while am at it i'd just like to ask if any1 has any good links or email adresses for resonable accomidation for drumshanbo (joe mooney festival) or the fleadh in tullamore?
B&B or camping (-possibly for drumshanbo)
all help is greatly appreciated.
p.s. ive already seen the list for drumshanbo but thought i may aswell ask.
Howya saxxhistle, I do believe the place your talking about is Tubbercurry. Its in sligo, just north of knock airport.
check out http://www.sligotourist.com/towns/tubbercurry/
for places to stay.
By the way, I'm not aware of any trad festival up there.
I dont wat to be pointin you in the wrong direction, so you might run it by your da and make sure.
actually i found the website b4 any results came through, looked up towns of ireland on wikipedia. am gettin smarter everyday lol! anyway,
thanks for all the help anyway, i'd still like to hear about those accomodation details if possible,
"Come join a weeklong celebration of Irish traditional music and dance. Learn to play a traditional Irish musical instrument or advance your skills at the hands of a master.
You can step out on the dance floor every night with new dances learned at your daily dance class. Enjoy the many sessions, concerts, recitals and lectures held nightly."
For those that may discover an interest after being drawn to this discussion.
The folks we knew, friends, who went regularly, only asked a farmer if they could put up a tent, so I can't help you with B&B, but I suspect someone will be able to. Do contact Marie or Rita Flannery, they will definitely be able to extend a welcome and help you out... Best of luck...
If your ineterested in finding out more about sligo before you go check out www.sligozone.net It is so bad it's reaaly funny, watch the video clips for a real laugh.
Alright, we've got three of us now. Will we pull it off as a trio or do we need further support? Conán's the big guns, what with his accordion and girth, we'll be the boys in the hood Key, you and I, but I think we need a bigger gang if we're going to stand up to the skin beaters clan...
Let's see, what will we call ourselves? The Tubbercurry Ramblers? The Tubbercurry Gamblers? Curry Guzzlers? Turkey Twizzlers? Nah, there's got to be something Irish that would give us more cache...
