    Heading to the Rory Gallagher Festival for the first time this year. Taught it would be helpful for everyone to have a forum for people to ask questions and get information / Recommendations.

    What pubs are best?
    Is it open liquor laws on the streets?
    What band to look out for etc...?

    You'll spend a lot of time down at Rory Gallagher place, which is basically Owen Roe's car park. Sean ogs pub up the hill a very popular spot too. There's about 12 pubs. Try them all!

    Pretty much open liquor laws yeah.

    Sinnerboy and lead singer Barry Barnes are the big dogs when it comes to Rory tributes. Make sure u catch laundromat from Holland. They're brilliant. Aidan Pryor and Mississippi sheiks are good young bands. Tony Dowler good too. Peter price as a solo artist, if u want a change of pace and some acoustic blues

    Just walk around, there is no real wrong answer in ballyshannon. You'll find good stuff that's not even on the official program on the street and in pubs.

    Enjoy

    There's a group of us heading up to this. Staying in Bundoran and getting the shuttle over. Really looking forward to it, as it's doubling as my stag!

    I have been on the site. That's where tickets were bought. I was looking for recommendations and tips of what to do from people who have been before, perfect example above your comment.
