Well it can reach 95 but variable is the best word. It's our hottest month, probably. T-shirt weather.

One thing we've always done when visiting Ireland and going into a music pub, is to keep our instruments in their cases till somebody asks. They always have done! The Irish love their music. Even if it's a paid gig for somebody you can end up doing a sort of 'open mike' spot.

The whiskey is a good idea. Get a bottle of Irish and get your taste buds ready. Irish is available in most pubs in England but there's a much greater variety in Ireland.

Enjoy, Les
