a bluegrass festival in Dunmore East sounds familiar. I have obviously never been, but i must have met someone who did at somestage. I see in Waterford city in August (I think) they have a sproai festival.(pronounce sproai???) more modern, tribal drumming kind of feel. I also hear T&H Doolans, Kiernan's and Katty Barry's are good places in the city. I also bizzrely met a man in my local pub last night who is from a place called Donhill I believe. The local pub, Harney's is a good singing venue, also nearby Tramore apparantly hosts a few midweek sessions.
Amazing the small world in wich we live.
and so onwards......
