    What hobbies do ye have?

    At the moment Rush Dram festival is on some really good shows.

    Also hear Mick Lally on radio plugging the Brian Friel classic "Philidelphia here I come". Would be worth going to just to see Mick Lally.

    Firstly let me correct my previous post.

    Mick Lally is in the John B. Kean classic "The Matchmaker" in the Tivoli. Now Mick Lally is one of the best stage actors of our time. He is particularly suited to John B. Keane, Friel, McMahon.

    Lally can paint a wonderful picture of times past with his acting, Words and timing.

    Thanks for the replies so far.
    I work shifts so the drama shows don't always work out for me.
    I think I've done most of the tourist things in the area.
    Ended up at a comedy night Friday in Skerries, not the best wit a small crowd. But it was still a laugh

    Ah no problem but believe me whether you are into drama or not Mick Lally is brillant on stage.

    I am not a huge fan of theathre but some of the Irish plays are so real. When you look at The Field a lot of people can relate to it quite easily.

    If you ever get the chance to see Thornton Wilders play "Our Town" or One flew over the cukoos nest go and see them. Our Town has no props you have to picture everything the actors do, great laugh. Saw One flew over the cukos nest in the Millbank Theatre in Rush and it was hillarious. All that said give me a good Irish play anytime.

    yeah theatre just is not my thing at all.

    the brother is an actor and recently did a preformance of "Rent " in wexford. it was entertaining but definately not my thing.

    i dont ask him to come to my work so i would appreciate if he returned the favour :D

    If your in the Balbriggan Area. O'Sheas at the HArbour have some good bands on friday nights.

    They are free in, went last week arrived in at 9.30, got seats - Band Started at 10.30pm good night.

    They have Catch 22 on tomorrow, they did my friends wedding (Not a wedding band). But great musicians so would recommend if your in Balbriggan.

    I think O'Sheas have a facebook page that has all the listings.

    Hi All,

    I too am sick of the same old hum drum day in & day out and am looking to take up some sort of arts / crafts course for one evening during the week.
