Clannad at Temple Bar TradFest 2011

[Susann]

Because of Ed's information on www.clannad.nl I asked the organisers of the Temple Bar TradFest about any news. I got the following information:

- CLANNAD will play on the 29th of January in Christ Church Cathedral
- ALTAN and Friends will play on the 26th of January
- BEOGA and CIORRAS will play on the 27th of January
- Jackie Daly, Matt Cranitch, Brendan Power and Tim Edey will play on the 28th of January

I will be there .

I will be there .

Thanks for the info, Susann - I need to smile sweetly at my employer again, but hopefully, I'll be joining you!

Excellent, thanks for the news!

Fingers crossed I'll be there. It's been ages since I last saw Clannad/Moya in concert.

Bought a ticket today!!!

I still don't know if I've got to work that day or not, so it could be a bit of a mad sprint, but if it means going straight to Liverpool Airport from work, then that's the way it's got to be. I'm certainly not passing up on it without a fight!

Excellent, I hope to see you there! I'm just waiting for the nod from my other half so I can go ahead and book two tickets, he better hurry up and decide - Hell hath no fury like a fan denied access to a sold out concert celebrating Clannad's 40th anniversary!

That's more or less word for word the discussion I've had with my employer, too!!!

Fingers crossed, see you there, folks!

Scratch the "fingers crossed", I'm definitely going - had it confirmed at work today. The "hell hath no fury" logic seems to work, Barry! :mrgreen:

For pity's sake don't tell me I won't be able to get a ticket?!!!! Still desperately looking at flights..........

Still looks OK at the moment, G - I've just gone back to tickets.ie, and it's asking me how many tickets I want!

I think what Barry said was meant to try and hurry his partner up before they do sell out, but I think you're OK for the time being!

Don't panic just yet!!!!

[Roibeard Óg]

I'll be there, so say 'ello! xD

Greetings from the land of the lurkers

Thank you wonky_eggs for the heads up on this, got my tickets Now hotel and flights .. eek!

[Dab051176]

Now hotel and flights .. eek!

I would have thought you'll be OK getting a flight this far in advance, Noodle. I got a flight without any problem from Manchester, and I would have thought there are far more flights from the South East!

Oh, and if you're stuck for a hotel, it might be worth checking out some of the hotels near to Dublin Airport. I've got in to a place about 10 minutes from there, and at the time I booked I managed to get it for 19 Euro. I see they've gone up to 29 Euro (about £25) for the night now, but if you can't find anything else, PM me and I'll let you have the details.

Thanks Dave! I'm going to see if I can stay near the Temple Bar area so it's not too much of a trek back from the concert. Expensive I know but I'll see what's around.

I'll PM you if I get stuck if you don't mind?

[Grania]

Is that seriously the price of the tickets?
