Working in the city
Have been out and about , definitely a great buzz and very busy today
Youngsters in the office are saying craic at nite mighty, all agreed though that the Bryne
 brothers ( Donegal family I think )played  one of the pubs last night and were sensational
Young cub in an Armagh jersey , hat and Tin whistle playing away  ,dunno is he was any good but was always giving him a few £

It's nice to have an event of scale in the city that doesn't involve wrecking the place.

I see though the elected member for beating the Themuns drums is on the warpath though.

To be fair to some, and they have taken a lot flack because if it, the marching drum flute bands have a show at the Titanic slipways tonight as part of the Fleadh, ones within their 'side' have lambasted them fir joining the 'hate fest' oh the irony lol
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

On the train on the way home. .magic day out. A Belfastian utopia. Kelly's, Electric Light Station, Maddens, Sunflower, Duke of York, Whites, Kelly's again, train. Sunflower and Kelly's the second time around were the pick. Pints in Duke of York were desperate.

TG4 is live at the Fleadh for the next few hours.

Had a brilliant day today. Looking forward to tomorrow.

What has been particularly satisfying about the Fleadh this week has been the likes of Moore, Jamie and Co stewing in their own juices while 10's of thousands are out enjoying a wonderful event without much thought for them.

Yes they are and fair play to them, if only their elected reps could see it's not a zero sun game.

Meh, I haven't thought twice about them. Not worth the time. The most satisfying thing for me without question is the sheer joy of everyone about the place

Quote from: Champion The Wonder Horse on August 03, 2026, 10:35:53 PMCan someone teach them southerners how to drive? The A1 was incredibly dangerous today. The number of southern regs sitting in the overtaking lane at 55-60mph for miles and the number of good god-fearing northerners who felt the need to undertake.

Has totally ruined the Fleadh for me.

Though I did see a young man carrying an O'Brien's, Foreglen kit bag through Royal Hillsborough.

It's the Foreglen man you should really be scared of

Fair point.

Had the pleasure of playing on their old pitch in the 80s. Interesting occasions.

Day tripped with our youngest on Tuesday, had a brilliant time dandering around for 5/6 hrs. Spoke with people from all iver, everyone in top form.
Couple of sneaky pints, some good food and a tonne of great music.
Other family plans on Sat or Sun or we'd be heading back across in a heartbeat
