If you find yourself in the area of Listowel, or Ballybunnion, in the North of County Kerry during your ramblings, I recommend a visit to either, or both, of the sessions listed below:

Fridays :
Singer/song writer, Mickey MacConnell and Jim Gornall play in McMunn's Bar and Restaurant, Ballybunnion, every Friday night. Check out Mickey's website here;

Saturdays:
Be sure to drop into The Horseshoe Bar and Restaurant, Lower William St., Listowel,where you will hear Mickey and Jim in session every Saturday night.

Listowel Harvest Festival and Race Week (Sunday September 13th to Saturday 19th) This festival runs in conjunction with Listowel Races, one of Ireland's most popular Horse racing meetings. The Harvest Festival includes busking competitions, fun races through the streets of Listowel, the selection of the Harvest Queen and the All-Ireland Wrenboy Bands Competition (an experience not to be missed !). Pub and street entertainment is available nightly.
For further information telephone + 353 68 23036 / 23037, or check out this link :

Perhaps some very kindly Mud Elf might turn the above links into a useable BLUE CLICKIES ?

Enjoy your visit and best wishes for finding enjoyable sessions !
