I played a weekly solo gig at Fitzpatrick’s, Kilcrohane every Wednesday from 30th July through August.
Matt and Lorna Morton travelled down from County Mayo to join me for a weekend of bookings as ‘Gawkey’ – Fri 1 Aug at the Fastnet Bar, Goleen, Sat 2 Aug at The Tin Pub, Ahakista and Sun 3 Aug at Fitzpatrick’s, Kilcrohane. We played traditional Irish tunes and songs which were well received at each venue.

The Tin Pub is a strange venue with breath taking views as can be seen below:
