Eily’s Report – 24th June

Dia is mhuire diobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

Put another nickel in. In the Nickelodeon, all I want is loving you and and Music, Music, Music. It was a case of music, music all the way at our wonderful Busking Fest on Saturday March 21, the longest day of the year. It was a  brave adventure for our Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Association to hold the first of its kind in the town. But once the idea was born, the whole community rowed in behind them.  Duggan’s Business yard was available for parking.  In the run-up to the day the shops and business places in the town decorated their windows and it helped in no small way to create an atmosphere of expectancy long before the big day came. When the day came those taking part registered at the GAA Hall and were given the place where they performed for a given time before moving on to another. There were places allocated  along the full length of the town and Mary Hickie’s yard provided a centrepiece for the event.  Committee members kept an eagle eye on the entire event to see that everything was seen to. The crowds came, whole families, parents, children of all ages and people of all ages. There were places for resting and plenty of people to meet and talk to, as the musicians spread their magic far and wide.  Our food providers did us proud.  Hot food outlets plus a variety of refreshment places. Smoothies and so on.  IRD Duhallow provided a covered seated area where people were able to sit and have their food. The tent in the Square also made a welcome gathering/ resting place.
