    Why oh why oh why must everything in Longford be plagued by Country n Irish ****ing music.
    This years festival in Connolly barracks is great day time but musically could not be hicker than a packet of Hicks Hickory Smoked rashers bought in Hickeys by a hick. You look at all the other (often free) festivals round the country and yes theyll have an over 70s farmers night but they have the likes of The Frank and Walters, The Pale, The walls playing...you know.....bands which dont have a tractor driving accordion loving following.
    ****s sake Longford. Try some music for once.

    Great to see an effort being made all the same!

    If you're into more alternative tastes, I'm involved with the Cruthú Arts Festival which is taking place on July 23rd - 26th. We're having a concert in St John's Church on the Sunday, which will be headlined by Nina Hynes & Fabien Leseure, and Owensie - both acts have been nominated for the Choice Prize in recent years. We'll also have music in the Little Blue Room at John Browne's (which regularly hosts gigs by original artists), which will have singer-songwriters from Spain and the USA, along with an excellent bluegrass band. The full programme should be available next week. :)
