Hello:
Last week I went to Puerto Rico to see mom, plus some personal business that I needed to do. Tonight I’m flying to Ireland for a week, this time for company business, but I’ll have some time to myself. My wife is also going for the week, she’ll be touring around while I work like a dog.
Being that this weekend Robbie Williams is in concert in Dublin, there are no places to stay, so I’m taking the train to Waterford and spend the weekend there, then go back to Dublin for work. Anything else interesting happening next week? (8/9-8/16)
So. Any good places to go for a session and a pint? Anything else that can be recommended?
Regards,
Luis
Hi!
There’s a wonderful weekend of music from August 13 to 17 in Bantry, West Cork. Martin Hayes is the artistic director. Check out the details here:

I live about 10 miles from Bantry usually, but I’m in the US at the moment. I was not happy when I heard about it! Bantry House is an amazing 18th? century house, and all of the concerts over the weekend take place in the library, possibly by candlelight. It’s a great venue. There are also masterclasses with most of the participating musicians. I wish I could go, but if you go, enjoy it!
These websites should give you more info on Bantry itself:
