So, how was your last Sunday?
Did you start the day at the Gospel Hour with The Alex Leach Band? Did you catch Bigtooth at The Clew Bay Hotel, stop by the Old Time Session to say hello to Tim Rogers, or enjoy the Singer-Songwriters Circle at McGing’s?
Maybe you joined the Galway Jam Circle for a tune, or went to see Thunder and Rain one more time. Were you lucky enough to hear the beautiful music of Luke Murray and Jessie Whitehead, and the impromptu hoolie they shared with friends? And, of course, did you make it to the mighty farewell sessions at The Clew Bay Hotel?
It was truly an amazing day and a wonderful way to bring another unforgettable festival to a close.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it so special. ❤️
