Subject: RE: Fleadh 2005 Letterkenny
Got back home 4am after a smooth ferry crossing.
It was a bit wild and wet much of the time in Letterkenny, but there was plenty going on in pubs and venues.
Saw Altan in concert on Saturday night. They were wonderful.
It was certainly a young peoples Fleadh. The standard of playing in the sessions we listened to was brilliant.
We enjoyed a drive along the Donegal coastline. Beautiful.
Cant wait to hear if it is in Letterkenny again in 06.
The best bit of the outward journey was driving thru Derry.
One disappointment was that Newgrange was nt open when we got there... we were too early. I didnt think it would be so commercialised.
On the way back we took the N3 and stopped at Beleek... for some presis
