Mike

I see from the nametags thread that you haven't enlisted yourself for any of the meetups. Is this a typo?? I know we are staying in the same hotel so I'll see you then, but you have to come to some of the get-togethers! I'm sure - apart from your old friends - that a lot of people want to meet you

Glad to hear from you trish, are you happy with your tickets
Just home after a very "wet and muddy" weekend at Oxygen Bands Festival .
Comments and update of Sligo information on this thread when I recover ,

Hi Diana

Going out for a coffee in the morning (breakfast) with Mick is a bad idea... as a few of us can attest to! I hope there'll be none of those Shenanigans in Shenanigans in Sligo!

trish, ladydi and meself have shared wine and shenanigans in The Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan so shenanigans in Shenanigans in Sligo will be no bother .
Should mention here that Trish and Sean of Shenanigans (Sligo) serve an all-day Irish Breakfast for 10 euro
so one can have breakfast before bedtime .

PS Mick - can't believe you were at Oxegen - lucky you! I'd loved to have gone!
Delighted with the tickets, thanks a million... Paula has them in safekeeping. Look forward to seeing you in Sligo

I was there only for Paolo Nutini, one of the best new talents on the scene today.
I promoted a few of his early concerts alas he is too big for me now
There were several companies dishing out free Ponchos at Oxygen, they told me they will be doing the same at Sligo
but hopefully we will not need them.
But open air concerts and weather
This comment from Monday's Irish Times :

Met Ireland will issue us with their long-range weather forecast next week .

I will be guided by Esmeralda who has decided to join me in Sligo ,
fact is I have attended hundreds of concerts but I've never been to a pre-concert meet-up for any of them
a bit of a get-together afterwards does me .

I suspect that this link has already been posted in one of these Sligo threads - but I just saw it on FaceBook - so I'm bringing it here -
Lots of information and lots of pretty pictures.

Urgent!
I booked two hotel rooms at the Clarion through 1800hotels.ie and now the booking has been cancelled due to difficulties with the company. I am now urgently looking for acccommodation for 4 for Saturday 31st July. Anyone able to help!

Accommodation should still available at link below.
They are slow to confirm, so give it a day or two,
let me know how you get on.
If they are booked out
I will contact Sligo committee, I am very sure that something can be arranged.
I have a list of locals who were offering to homehost and can make contact with them .
