The Ballyshannon Folk Festival

So, the The Ballyshannon Folk Festival 2024 ran its course – in spite of atrocious weather. It made it a tent-event, with too little music on the streets: bad luck, but the people who found their way to the Marquee still had lots of fun.

The Ballyshannon-Festival is the oldest festival of it’s kind meanwhile. All the other ones have gone, Ballyshannon keeps up the Trad-spirit. Check out their website, they are already looking for gigs for 2025.

Thinking about getting a sheep for the lawn is a kind of running joke amongst men. Some apparently make that dream come true. In July we passed a garden in Ballyshannon, where two of those organic lawn mowers were at work. One model was pretty dated – or extremely hungry.
