Ah, it usually is, and all reports I got were of great music and craic all round.

The Fleadh has changed beyond recognition, though.
It seems as if the spectacle has overshadowed the purpose.
Remember Lisdoon, Mikey?

Ahhhhh. Those halcyon days!!!!

I'd love to, Mikey joe, but can't this year. Didn't miss an All-Ireland between 1970 and '86, it was the highlight of the year (All-Ireland still really means Listowel to me). Children take up all the spare cash these days, but we fully intend to introduce the children to the All- Ireland before too many more years pass.

Have a great time!!!!!!

Hi Mikey

there I was, and now here it is a few days before the Fleadh and Ella's tours is going mad. I am as ever very disorganised, with new additions to the party at last minute.

I am going!

I will probably be in P J Murphys at some point.

SOrry have not been around. The web connection at work is dodgy at the moment.

Will send you an email now

ALl the best
