Hey all, i hope theres not another thread already made. Apologies if there is...

Just wondering is there many people heading to Miltown Malbay this week for the fest? Going up for the week working and taking it all in. Love this festival and think it never gets enough notice...although there is going to be no shortage of revellers!

Would love to go but will be working all week. *sigh* Something always gets in the way of me going.

I love this festival
It's brilliant for music. I did the classes two years ago and would highly recommend them. But ya the weekend can be rough
And I don't think there was as many around last year as there was the previous years. Hopefully it will draw a big crowd this year though

I turn into a widow for 10 days each July as my hubby vanishes to Miltown for Willie Week :rolleyes:

The first weekend and the first week is the best, the last weekend is non stop drinking & general rowdiness
Having said that the gardai will be maintaining a visible at night so i wouldn't see there being much trouble just the usual few lads acting the tool!

Enough of the spam please, you've even dug up old threads to advertise your site. A simple post would have been enough.

and every year the rumour goes out that this was the last ever willie week, no more grants etc....

Cracking festival, it was my first time down there, and I'd agree with what some others have said, that there was definitely a different crowd down there by the second weekend, a lot of musicians left on the Friday, brilliant nonetheless.
