The great trek
I ain't half back and already arranging my trip to Ireland (Dec 14 - 18). It's going to be a bit of a trek, flying into Cork on December 14, catching a bus to Tralee and then on to Dingle (4 hour trip). The gig is the next day, Dec 15th, in St James's Church, seating 60 people. I don't have a ticket (only available via e-mail, payment by cheque. Huh?), but I'll just show up for the soundcheck and let Gav sort the credentials. (Update: ticket sorted) (Update II: heh, apparently guestlist sorted too. Good boy.) Apparently there are other artists besides him on the bill. Hmm. The next day I'll take the bus to Dublin (8 hour trip) arriving there past 7pm. I then have a day to spend riding the Luas or sipping cocktails in The Clarence, and back to Amsterdam on the 18th.
You can't even buy tickets until the line up is 'finalized' too... and Gavin isn't yet listed.
I'm sure you'll be fine, and afterwards, it will have been worth the effort.
Looking forward to your photos.
I'm sure we can hook up while you're in Dubbelin...
Have a great time in Dingle [as if there's any doubt].
Say hi to the dolphin for me!
Hey Rogue, you stole my line. I was going to tell Caroline to say hi to Fungie too! An Daingean (Dingle) is a lovely yet rainy village, at least it was when I was there a few years ago.
I can't believe that dolphin's still there. I have seen him, I went out on the boat when I was in Dingle a couple of years ago. I have no recollection of the rest of the village, or where I stayed.
It's about the only thing anyone knows about Dingle.
It has a Dolphin. This dolphin is the stuff of legends.
Gav'll have a long way to go to draw as many people to Dingle as that dolphin ;)
