    Don't you know the County Limerick forum is very very sluggish at the best of times;). Perhaps you may have being better off discussing West Fest before it kicked off though.

    Pardon my ignorance but what is West Fest as I'm totally clueless even though I seen it advertised around the streets in NCW. Is it some sort of fleadh or family funfair day or other?

    Ta Munstermad. It seems you certainly enjoyed it! Seems like a lot of it was aimed towards families and kiddies but no doubt in my mind there was something there fore everyone. A much welcome boost for the businesses in the town too I'm sure. Will be sure to nosey in next year;)

    It was a great success and a much needed boost for the community in every respect, and you are right there was something for everyone....
    As a blow in from the city... I must say I am absolutely enamoured by the town of NCW.. It's a little gem... Defo check it out next year, I gurantee you'll have a blast.
    :D

    The Heineken Westfest was absolutely fabulous and well done to the organisers. The atmosphere in the square was electric every night over the weekend. The town was never looking better. I passed through the town early on Sunday morning and the place was spotless. You would never think that there was a concert on the previous night so the street cleaners were obviosly out very early and did an excellent job. Roll on next year. Check out DOC performing his party piece in the Knights of Desmond competition. Priceless!
