Electric Guilt Trip

diaspora — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 02:19:24 +0000

Late night in from the Ballydehob Festival (it aint over yet!) – fantastic music all over town, great buzz, big crowd, and happy people dancing, chatting, drinking and swinging – humanity at it’s best!

Pam and Killian - Jeez we're in Ballydehob

The totally tickling world championship turnip race, mad fellas drinking and pushing friends in wheel barrows, pig racing, the bride and groom (big congratulations!) who just happened to be in the village – they didn’t know what was coming but oh they got into the spirit! Alan and his chip van feeding the masses, and people groovin to the beat, totally unique!

Special mention for Electric Guilt Trip – outdoor rock concert village style! Buzz galore! and Skazz jazzin it up in Vincent O’Mahoneys (O’Briens bar) – the floor was pounding, big smiles, and the sweat of carelessness all round!

Blame the Guinness – but sometimes it just works and you know when you and everyone else have really enjoyed the night!

In the mood!

Did I forget to say there’s also tomorrow… bedtime!

If you’re anywhere near Ballydehob from the 7th to 17th August get on your hat and come down town! You can be good, you can be bad, and if you’re ugly that’s even better!

Yep it’s that time again – it’s the Ballydehob Wild West Summer Festival !

Fun and frolics, live music, dancing, trad boats, sport, crazy races, cowboys and indians, fireworks, talent competitions, healthy walks! and loads of other stuff.

The sherrif is friendly, the cowboys are cool, and the indians – well they just hang around smokin cheroots and smiling at everyone!

Great fun.
