05 Jun 17 - 02:34 PM (#3859082) Subject: RE: 2017 Frank Harte Festival From: FreddyHeadey We got a twin bunk in a private room in the youth hostel last year. But I booked in April. Easier to do over the phone than the booking form. 2016 was ~€160 for 3nights Free parking. & breakfast I think. 10 minutes walk to Teachers Club.

20 Sep 17 - 10:49 AM (#3877835) Subject: RE: 2017 Frank Harte Festival From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Expensive? Try Helsinki ! Dangerous? Try London! Excuse the poor taste but, given a reasonable common sense approach to personal security, Dublin is not notably dangerous. With some tips from 'catters like Liberty Boy, it shouldn't be too expensive, either! Regards |
21 Sep 17 - 04:45 PM (#3878034) Subject: RE: 2017 Frank Harte Festival From: Matthew Edwards I'm really looking forward to this year's Frank Harte Festival, especially since I missed going last year. Dublin certainly can be expensive, but there are many cities where you could pay a great deal more in return for a lot less. As for the rather ignorant comment about Dublin being dangerous I personally feel a lot safer there than in many other places. This is a great weekend of song and friendship, including a fantastic walking tour which is always memorable. Matthew |
