A few days spent on the Dingle peninsula. We stayed in Ballyferriter, went to Coumeenoole beach, Clogher Head, Clogher Beach, Beal Bán, and a couple of pubs where Geantraí were playing. They are not famous. They used to play a lot together over 40 years ago. And now they might play together once a year for a few days, as they're living all around Ireland and Europe (and even one of them in America, but he wasn't here this time). We came across them by chance at Tig Bhric (Brendan just wanted to buy a few bottles of beer. We stayed for a good while, and then they invited us to see them play again at Kane's Bar on the Sunday evening, where they were joined by three American trad musicians. I ended up sketching everything everything, all the faces, the drinks (and maybe the music?).
Also a few landscape sketches. Now I wish I had done more.
