    Well next week in galway is the Cuirt literature festival, which is excellent (don't laugh, I love that sort of thing) and there's a trad fest in kinvara over the bank holiday weekend.

    Then there's sh*tloads in the summer and beyond. What exactly sort of festival do you want, besides small? Trad? Electronic (more drum and base and house or more psy trance)? Metal/Hardcore? Reggae? Small alterna-bands? Past their prime charting bands? Literature/theater? Yoga? Fire spinning? Environmental/crafts? Sci/fi conventions?

    I'm not taking the piss, all of the above have happened in Ireland in the last two years. There are a lot of festivals in this country ;)

    As a Dubliner this is the first time a culchie has made me feel culturally ignorant.

    The Rory Gallagher Festival in Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal.

    Flipping awesome. June Bank Holiday Weekend.
    Everyone goes for the craic and to just relax. Never saw one fight in the last two years.

    Will be my third in a row this year.

    Bluegrass festival, Dunmore East, Waterford 27th, 28th & 29th August, 2010.

    Once a year in August music pilgrims come from all over the world to the Dunmore East Bluegrass Festival to listen to authentic bluegrass music. Bands play to ecstatic crowds, spread out comfortably at 6 venues, both indoors and outdoors. There also fine dining, sunbathing, swimming, dancing and jamming all day and night
