Does anyone know when last the beat-on-the-street was on in Killarney? I vaguely remember it being on New Street around by the Danny Mann! but can't re-call the last year it was there though. Just curious.
Anyone?

like yourself i vaguely remember it,i'm guessing it was around 19910 -

it was basically just an outdoor disco,held on the street, i think they were run by 2fm and there would be a "beat on the street" on in a different town every couple of weeks. they were huge events back then
yeah that was it! The "2fm beat-on-the-street!" D-ream et al... Yeah it must've been around the 1991 mark alright.

I know they used to bill themselves as re-play, I'm not sure are they still playing under that name, but they are still playing. I went to school with most of them. Nice lads.
I think they are going by "Reverse" now, normally play in Scott's. Great musicians in fairness!
Not biased even-though I went to school with some of them 0 -

It's a bit late now but a number of the GP surgeries would operate a half-day on Saturdays. You can go to the out-of-hours SouthDoc service - http://www.southdoc.ie/locations.cfm?kerry=Killarney or get them to come to you if you are too sick to travel in.Does anyone know of that Prime Healthcare Medical Centre on the roundabout at LIDLs is open on Saturdays? I'm really sick and I need to see a doctor

Just going to post here to get some thoughts into the open rather than to be having them bouncing about my head.
Anyway was out last Friday night in Killarney. Initially visited Mustang Sallys up the stairs and decided almost immediately that this was not to be the place and we moved just a few doors away to The Grand Hotel.
Now just a few things, I wasn't quite in the best frame of mind on the night just after finishing off medication for an injury that I'm still nursing, tired from a long week of work at work and work doing jobs at home - generally kind of tired and not exactly as sharp as I would have wished to be. I'd say it was late enough when we were arriving there it was about 12 midnight or so.
Anyway a generally good night was had. I was dressed in a suit and this was stirring up conversation and time was moving quickly.
It's probably around 2:30am or so and the DJ's were finishing off the music in the disco at the rear and the bar at the front and I'm making a journey from the rear to the front when along my way my eyes catch sight of a face that imprints itself in my mind, still there today.
My mind however being rather slow does not take conscious recognition of this until a few minutes later and so I have to recirculate from the front bar back to my origin at the rear of the dance hall and begin to retrace my steps. But fortune is good to me and I meet a very good looking young lady, being the bearer of that face, and her friend who are adjacent to the narrow path way that is to the side of the stage at the rear of the front bar. We talk very briefly (or so I think looking back now that it was my mind that was doing the speaking rather than my mouth and in retrospect I must have been like a deaf mute for all of my reactions being rather basic). I rember two comments being passed, that I'll not repeat fully here, one being to do with DIY and the other with me being rather of a way that I liked things kept in order with a certain item being identified and being used as an example. I rember the wit, quickness and intelligence of this lady and very impressed I was but sadly lacking in action.
Anyhow during the last few days I've got this image of this lady stuck in my brain and regrets about my not being as sharp as I was during our meeting to at least have had engaged in conversation, asked her name and requested a phone number if she would have provided it.
Bit of a missed connection story I'm afraid, so let's not go all "after hours" on me here, but there's a lesson here which is to stay sharp and always be altert and to follow feelings when they happen rather than to be halted by an non-reactionary mind overtired from overtasking.
I must visit there again this Friday night and see if chance may pass good fortune to me again that I may be benefitted with another opportunity.
Aww, what could have been
She may well be gone forever (she could have been down for the weekend!),
I'd say try going for a few fridays (what if she is off the drink for a month or something??!),
A lot of people tend to frequent the same places when they go in Killarney so hopefully you will come across her again!
Be gutting if she has a boyfriend:pac:0
