Hiya Peter
Ive done 2 years in Listowel at the same family house, followed by two years at Clonmel at the same farm. We usually find something.

Think Mayo is the other main contender, Kerry want it again, something about Ballybunion... but everyone says a non starter.

Most people would like it to be Letterkenny as Donegal is part of the traditional Ulster... not todays Ulster. So would bring the Fleadh within the area and please a lot of people. The Ulster folk we were with on the Sunday night explained all this to us.

My friend is trying to twist my arm to go to the Cork Jazz Festival in October.... If its during halfterm I may not be able to resist. Had a day trip to Cork last year and would love to go back. Not greatly into Jazz but it does sound good.
