Hi Skarpi

The music sounds interesting, we have some small community festivals down here in South west Ireland, unfortunatley they are just community events, and we don't have a budget to book anyone. But if you are coming to Ireland drop us a line and let's know. It would be nice to meet you.

Here is the program for this years 'Music in the Mountains' festival
We also have one in March at Glengarriff west Cork, the weekend after St Patrick's day. It's all just for fun, but we have a great time.

Good luck with the music

All the best

John & Marie
