My fiance and I will be honeymooning in Ireland in the Summer of 2013.

We'll be staying mostly in Galway, but intend to explore the north as well.

Last time we went to Ireland we went in July during the Arts festival in Galway. Although we saw a couple of great plays, it was a bit lacking musically.

So where should we go!?

Wille Clancy week 2013 July 6th. to 14th Traditional music, song and dance. If you'd like to participate you could sign up for dance classes or music tuition. If you'd just rather enjoy the atmosphere, you can drop into te sessions in the pub or the ceilis in the Mill Marquee, The Quilty Tavern or the Armada hotel.Look up clips on youtube. It'll give you an idea what to expect.

The Cuckoo Fleadh in Kinvara, Co. Galway is always a treat. It's usually the first weekend of May. Here is a link to this year's one - www.kinvara.com/cuckoo/index.html
