It’s official, I’m exhausted after a weekend of sun, sand and superb music!  The Cois Fharraige festival in Kilkee in Co. Clare is just a hidden treasure in the Irish festival calender.  The entire town takes on the festival spirit and welcomes visitors of all ages with open arms. The fact the I got to meet Niall Breslin (the lead singer of the Blizzards), just crowned the weekend for me.

Apart from the bands like The Blizzards, The Zuttons and The Saw Doctors who rocked out the huge tent every night, the town hosts lots of local bands playing in beer gardens every where you look.  Dancing in the street is a definately a must! And being in the west, the seafood must be sampled, it’s nothing short of amazing.

I have to say a huge thank you to Kevin and the boys from Ideal Campsite.  The name describes the campsite perfectly, 2 minutes walk from every where you want to go in the festival, excellent shower facilities, car parking and just the best laugh you could ever want.  Book my place for next year boys, I just couldn’t ask for better!
