    I was hoping to try and get to Dun Laoghaire to see this, but alas, I never made it.
    Did any boardsies make it up? What was it like? Did you see anything particularly good and would you recommend it for next year?

    I was there on Friday.
    It wasn't all that good, don't think you missed too much.
    There were lots of stalls selling stuff from all foreign countries, pubs + clubs were full and there was a big wheel and stuff.

    Moved from After Hours. I think this forum is better suited for the topic.

    I was at the festival on Sunday OP. It was brilliant craic. The food there was absolutely amazing, and the final act - some Brazilian drumming band were out of this world.

    I saw the North Strand Klezmer band on Saturday night. Good Jewish music!

    I queued for 30 minutes to get Mexican food, only to spill it all over my jeans. I'm a disaster! hehe.

    I thought it was good. Got into a recording with RTE of a Brazilian woman.. she was excellent. Also got a pie from the pie stall down in the carpark and got to try the freebies from everywhere.
    Can't believe there were people swimming in the harbour! It was freezing down there!

    did anyone see the austrailian guitarist play? not too sure what his name is, think it begins with a 'b'. anyway, he was something else.
