Attended trad on the prom_a pot pourri of the best of Irish traditional song music and dance presented to us by the Fahy Family from Loughrea
What a performance_where do I start_where do I finish!
Ingenium Naturam of the highest musical order came to light with
the uileann pipes of Ger Fahy_he also played other instruments the fiddle playing of Therese Fahy The guitar playing of her husband the accordion playing of Ivonne Fahy
and the wonderful dancing of various world class Irish dancers
Lots of tunes came to the fore.I was particularly taken by Gerards musical tribute to his Mother and Thereses rendition of Mo Ghiolla Mear and who could forget the exhilarating performances by the array of dancers that came on the stage

I have had friends and family employed here through the years and they've all been appalled.
I am deeply disappointed and my partner is still upset about the situation. We have plans to return and my partner is very anxious...
Read moreIt's a really good facility. I'm not looking for faults, but the lighting in the changing room area is terrible. Some changing rooms are not very well lit. This is a major issue if you have kids. Also, the exit gate (turnstile) is crazy. Try to exit with a load if bags and kids one at a time !!!!! Also, as you exit there is a steep drop to the left hand side where the steps are. So, if the kids go first then there is a serious danger they could fall down the steps. If you go first there is a chance your kid, especially very young ones who like like to ignore their parents (mine), will not follow you through.
