I attended Sugawn kitchen regularly between 1974 - 77. I had two. lines to say as Warder 2 in a production of The Quare Fellow by Brendan Behan which included some actors who had been in the original Theatre workshop production at Stratford (East). Amazed to see Peter O' Toole no less in the bar with our producer. The critic Bernard Levin was known to show. up at these shows in full evening dress.

I also went on a very bucolic coach trip from the Sugawn to the Fleadh Cheoil in Ennis. The music and dance in route to the Fleadh was much more fun than the. actual Fleadh itself, Apart from Gerry, I remember Tony Bradley and his group each sat and Sunday evening.
