Unreal day out! Music was class, especially that trad band—had the whole crowd going. Would 100% go again.

Great day out. Dead handy getting in and out, fair play to the organisers. Weather held up too.

The chips with curry sauce alone were worth the ticket price 😂 Music was very decent too but the craic was mighty.

Bit of a queue for pints but sure that’s to be expected. Tunes were bang on.
