The Coronas are playing the Court Yard Hotel - Leixlip Festival

Cill Dara

:eek: I just heard today that The Coronas are going to playing in the Court Yard during the Leixlip Festival...

Can anyone confirm this for me?

If you're in Leixlip, you should get a festival guide through your door a few days/weeks before th festival. It will give all the listings for events/gigs that are taking place over that week/weekend.

Is it the June Bank Holiday weekend that the Festival is on?

Amz

Yup.

Cill Dara

Apparently Aslan are back to play there again this year. Really looking froward to all this now if it is all true. Fingers crossed

The festival is taking place from 29th May till 2nd June. It used to be known as the Salmon Leap Festival but recently has been changed to Leixlip Festival

The quality of act has gone down somewaht in recent years. Back in the late 90s it was always worth going to see some of them, but nowadays I usually give it a miss.

The viking re-enactments that they used to have on were also pretty decent. It's a pity they got rid of 'em.

the coronas, republic of loose, aslan, the blues brothers, some band called the harleys are playing the courtyard over the festival weekend

I knew the coronas were definitley playing the courtyard, but not replublic of loose.

I saw the coronas recently in Mullinar and they were excellent. well at least the lead singer is fantastic live. so it should be good all round!!!

I heard The Coronas were promising to introduce a fourth chord on their next album. Funny how they played in my front garden last week and I didn't bother to go see them

I was thinking that. . .lol. .. arent they just great??? I love their album. I wont be able to make the gig in Time but I will definitley be in the courtyard

BuffyBot

If you want to discuss the merits of the band, then the music forum is probably a better place.

Let's get back to the event

This site seems to give details of all the events running during the festival.

For anyone new to the Leixlip area, I'd suggest trying to get on one of the historical walking tours of the area. There's so much interesting history to the area that many people wouldn't be aware of i.e. the first guinness was made there etc.

ChewChew

Thanx for that Amz. . .

I was on to the Courtyard hotel for information about the coronas playing, and they are actually playing in the yard of the hotel which should be interesting as its not all that big. And admission will be €5

Anyone going???

The burning boat kicked ass.

When I'm supreme leader of Leixlip, I'm gonna bring it back.

Vote for me at the next town council elections.

Amz

Pfft, the day a Hiller rules Leixlip is the day Bertie Ahearn becomes Pope.

ChewChew

come on the far enders!!!

now who the hell is going to see the coronas???

Amz

I may pop down, will depend on whether I know any other people going or not.

ChewChew

I have a huge group going. Soooooo cant wait!!!!

Terry

Is that on now?
I'm gonna head down soon.

The should bring back the festival nettle rose.

Amz

Did you get in Terry? I was told you'd need to be down around 7 to get a spot to watch it. I wasn't bothered going down to it in the end.

ChewChew

Ah lads. . . the coronas played on Friday!!!! how disappointed am I? I totally missed it.
