I'm at my mate's place overlooking the docks, we've just enjoyed the African music from tonight. What an unreal buzz. The amount of goodwill and fun is just great. I'm convinced that this event is one of the best things ever to come to Galway. I'll post my thoughts in more detail when I'm not under the influence

Christy Moore... NOW we're talking!!!

I'm surprised too...they are at home at the moment so it wouldn't surprise me if they were to be added. That'd be Saw Doctors show number 21 for me!
On a side note, 1,000th post! 0 -

The Ericcson boat is currently out sailing in the bay, the wind is about 20-25kts so I wonder what sort of speed they're doing I was out windsurfing and a few of us were tempted to sail out to meet it but it probably wouldn't have been the smartest move. 0

I would prefer live music to the piped stuff meself. Some of the members of bands on the stages are even buskers themselves too!
Just curious as to why you wouldn't want them:)
Personally have no problem with buskers, I think they add alot to Shop street but how do you prevent every 'tom dick and harry' who know 3 chords and have a voice like a drain from swamping the place with their rubbish busking (ie 6 different versions of Galway Girl at once played in the wrong key)? As it is, there isn't too much room anyway down there anyway and the space that is available should be to facilitate those who have travelled and want to enjoy the great atmosphere without those useless buskers roaring in their ear. Would have no problem with a couple decent buskers scattered around the village but how would you regulate this?

Ya, fair enough, I take your point. I was thinking ideal world where maybe there are 2 or 3 pitches in the daytime, and perhaps like in parts of London, they are 'invited' to the pitch, I supposed they'd regulate it like now, where no one is allowed. When there is a good busker, it adds a lot to the atmosphere, but yeah - nothing worse than off key 'Galway Girl', except maybe a bad version of fairytale of ny!:p
Speaking of those two songs, maybe the surprise guests would be Shane Mc Gowan and his band!!!?;)0 -
