Doolin 2019

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, we weren’t able to spend the weekend of the Doolin Folk Festival in the trailer tent. This meant that we missed out on being cold, wet and uncomfortable during the night, but we were very brave about it all.

Instead, we stayed in a guesthouse a few kilometres away:

It was handy enough, especially as we’d booked it very last-minute.

We got to Doolin on Friday evening and hit the ground running by going to see Noel Hill, the concertina player.

Clannad played later on. Hard to top the micro instrument mastery, but they somehow managed it.
