About me:

The First south Belfast, Irish Culture and Traditional Music Festival*********************** Féile An Droichead 2009 myspace image hosting Not content with being one of Belfast’s premier traditional music venues, the multi-award winning An Droichead is breaking new ground at the end of August when it hosts South Belfast’s first ever Celtic music and cultural festival. Festival patron, comedian Des Bishop, described it as the most exciting cultural festival to hit Belfast in years. ‘Féile an Droichead 2009’ will run from 27 – 30 August and builds on An Droichead’s sensational year of events which has seen musical performances from internationally renowned artists such as Julie Fowlis, Cran, At First Light, and Liam Ó Maonlai from Hothouse Flowers. The festival will serve up a programme of top acts including Corks own John Spillane, The Alan Kelly band, leading Scottish performer Griogáir Labhruidh, Bríd Harper, and Dermot Byrne from Altan to name but a few. Venues along the Ormeau Road and beyond will be alive with the sound of a trad-trail, exhibitions and talks that will inform, educate and inspire. Singing workshops and music master-classes will be a must for any budding musician, and the Céilí is sure to pack in the crowds with an evening of craic agus ceol. And as if that wasn’t enough you can enjoy the tastes of the world at the multi-cultural food faire. The City’s newest festival will cater for all tastes and guarantees a true Belfast welcome to everyone. Don’t miss it.

    (Hi: enjoyed my visit.) 

    After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

    Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
    (please see my blog): 
    WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN 

    Once drove an old sedan, up north, 
    From a place in Sydney to Cairns; 
    Then to Kuranda I went forth, 
    By train, to look without set plans.

    I browsed through the trendy market, 
    With fresh fruits of tropical kind; 
    Walked to the creek through lush thicket - 
    Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

    I dined in a scenic cafe; 
    Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, 
    Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, 
    You go walkabout with your pen.” 

    Request or question, I don’t know -
    Assured voices, elderly men.
    That’s now several years ago, 
    And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
