I would like some suggestions when I fulfill my dream and visit Ireland next May. Hopefully to attend a Beltane ceremony as well. I will be spending 10 days total. Flying into Shannon, then to Galway for 3days including the Aran islands, down to Limeric for a day and on to Kilarney for 3 days visiting the Dingle penincila. On to Tralee for a day, then up to Listowel and ending in Ennis before leaving for the states again. I am interested in the arts of Galway, the history of the Shannon, the beauty of Dingle and many of the stone circles in and around Kerry and into Limerick.

Some help with the festivals, ceremonies and other points of interest to a first time traveler would be appreciated. Including but not limited to nightly sessions along the way. I play Guitar O'Carolan and yes the Bodran and Bones too.

Thanks in advance for all your usual helpful advice

Gary
