An Aussie in County Clare. Monthly Archives: December 2016. All is not what it seems. A little story from the Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast of Clare. December 17, 2016. My little cottage nestled on the rocks at Pt Caherush. But I didn’t think of the sandstone itself. Perfectly circular holes and radial joint patterns on the rock platform at Point Caherush. Mikey Talty talks about Caherush in his youth. Blasted face at limit of quarrying. Quarried rock face and blasted rubble. It is hard now to unde...

An Aussie in County Clare. Monthly Archives: September 2016. The Sheela na Gigs of County Clare: An embarassment or a treasure? September 30, 2016. Indeed my introduction to the Sheela was perhaps symbolic of the historical ambivalence and difficulty their existence has caused in Irish culture. Embarrassment at talking about them and trying to explain them and tolerance and acceptance of them in very public locations and seemingly incongruous places such as churches and castles. So what are they? An alte...

An Aussie in County Clare. Monthly Archives: April 2016. Why I love Irish Music Festivals. Especially the ones I don’t go to. April 2, 2016. If you’ve read any of my blog posts you will know I love Festivals. Traditional Irish Music Festivals to be more precise. But sometimes I like them even better if I don’t go. Let me explain. Can’t wait for the Fleadh Ceol in Ennis. Especially for those nights when I won’t be there. Dingle Peninsula. The Irish Alps. The Waves of Tory. Top Posts and Pages.

An Aussie in County Clare. Monthly Archives: August 2016. The Last Day of Summer? August 31, 2016. Today is 31st August. The last day of Summer. Well is it? Spanish Point August 28th 2016. It couldn’t be that bad, could it? So rain hail or shine I decided to do it. Spanish Point Beach August 31st 2016. But I could feel the love. Well, subliminal messages written in worm excrement and weed. But feck it. I’ve made the effort. Why don’t I just do it. After all the water temperature i...So this was my little...

An Aussie in County Clare. Glenties and the Blue Stack Mountains; The beating heart of Donegal fiddle music. January 10, 2017. I hadn’t planned on going to Glenties. Don’t get me wrong it’s a delightful place in the west of Donegal set in mountainous country and its lovely leafy village setting is a surprising contrast to the treeless wild of this part of the world. I had just spent a wonderful week of music at the. Scoil Gheimhridh Ghaoth Dobhair. Um Who are the Campbells? You’ve never heard of them?

An Aussie in County Clare. Achill Island – a story of butterfly collections, Jehova’s Witnesses and old postcards. September 2, 2016. During late July I spent a week on Achill Island in the west of Co Mayo. My reason for being there of course was music, a Summer School called Scoil Achla. This was my third time and I have spoken at length about it in my previous blogs. Indeed raved about it, so I won’t repeat that here. Just type Achill into the search box! In the height of the famine. He showed me a...

An Aussie in County Clare. Monthly Archives: July 2016. Sometimes it’s not the destination. July 29, 2016. I love the Summer in Ireland. Not because of the weather, obviously although as I write this 28 degrees is predicted for Drumshanbo and the Irish Met Office has issued a Yellow Weather Alert for the heat! But of course as I have said before sometimes the most enjoyable parts of Festivals are the this things that happen around them. Including the journeys. Dingle Peninsula. The Irish Alps.
