I’ll be rambling around in Ireland during the last two weeks of October with my landscape painting supplies and pipes…to paint landscapes and to play pipes, of course.
Anyone know of the details of the S. Ennis tionol? I head a rumor that it may be held in October. Anyone know of other music extravaganzas I might attend?
Nothing heard other than that he probably won’t be making it.

I’m not familiar with an Ennis festival. There is a Séamus Ennis Centre in Naul with lots of different concerts. Is that what you’re thinking of? Here’s a link to a festival listing: http://www.entertainmentireland.ie/frame.asp?page=http://www.entertainmentireland.ie/festival/default.asp

it’s Scoil Seamus Ennis, in the Seamus Ennis Centre in The Naul, a village in north County Dublin, starts on the 20th October, ends on the Monday 25th, which is the Bank Holiday.
There is usually a recital on the Saturday night.
This is from Neillidh Mulligan’s website.
