Not sure where you are Raggy and how long you're around, but there's a nice singing session in Kinvarra - 'tother side of Galway City, on Tuesday Night - Greene's Bar - at least one Mudcatter is a regular.
Starts late (10ish) and goes on til' the landlady gets fed up.
Worth the effort if you're in the mood.
Not much hatred down there either.
Did you know the late maker of folk films, Philip Donnellan, used to own Mason's Island, off the coast from Carna?
Not a lot of people know that!
