Calling Rebels and their neighbours.

I hear a rumour that there may be some gigs in Macroom on 17th & 18th Aug. check out the Briery Gap or ring 026 41793. There were great gigs last year. H

Heed Hilary's call, the Macroom experience was brilliant last year, two great gigs and some wonderful community singing afterwards.
Sadly I can't make it to Macroom this year, I can't get that week off from work, some wise person told me recently that 'Work is the curse of the gigging classes'.

This sounds good. I'm luckier than you Brian as my annual leave is booked for that week anyway, so we're ready for a bit of a break just now , and we can hit the road before Conor goes back to the books.
With good recomendations from yourself and Hilary it should be well worth the journey and sure it's only up the road !

Macroom was the highlight of my holiday last year and I'm lucky enough to return in a couple of days, thanks to Hilary.
But first there is the voyage ...

Welll said Adam, we had a fantastic time over the few days we spent in Cork and both gigs were brilliant. Thanks for posting the setlists and the photos onto the gallery. Smaller gang this year than last time I believe and earlier to bed , but a great experience for us anyway - and a surprise or two as well !
