THE GATHERING 9/10/11 April Lisdoonvarna

[Doug L]

"I'm looking forwards to meeting everyone and putting faces to some legendary names."

Adrian, as you'll soon discover, some of the faces are more legendary than the names...

[ketscha]

This thread has gone really quiet of late - are there any news about the gathering?

I am needing to get my holidays sorted and wouldn't want to miss meeting all you lovely 4711ers again (especially after having missed Vicar Street this year)...but there are flights to be booked, friends to be told that I am stying over ... and there is my boss who I should really tell that I will not be available for any trade shows that weekend.

[jack power]

it is going ahead as planned. final touches are being tweeked and all details will be announced shortly

[Adrian]

Thanks for that, it's prompted me to book flights today. Sadly my good lady wife cannot come but she has encouraged me to make the trip. I've not met the gang before so looking forward to meeting up.

[Petra]

It's a long, long way from here to there. This is heaven, this is hell. Who cares ? Who can tell ? Lisdoon-Lisdoon-Lisdoonvarna !

[jack power]

anyone for the last few choc ices?

[Adrian]

I might have to get into training. Thanks for not posting this news in your chat or on the oficial website front page, this will give the devoted regular 4711ers here a better chance of snapping up tickets. Maybe even me.

[ketscha]

That's it! Tickets are booked Yeah!

[Adrian]

Same here! 10.00am on the nose.

[Seanie B]

Me too I even gave up me usual Saturday morning lie in!

[oranmore]

Tickets booked oooooh Lisdoonvarna

[Maryline]

hey, when i said i'll move the earth to try and go to Lisdoon, i did not mean...
Love to all.

[JOHNMCCLOSKEY]

We all know the earth moved for you Maryline. The Gathering will be all the poorer for your absence. Wish you were here. xx

[martymc]

Hope everyone's sorted, see Lisdoon on the gigs page on the CM site this PM.

[prgraham]

And I'm as sick as a whacked goat. I've got a wedding and a family portrait session to shoot over the weekend. But, by god, I'll be thinking about you all. Kevin C and Primula....drink a pint of something for me, please, boys.

Here's hoping it all goes well and that a repeat next year may be in order.

Phil, have the wedding snaps done before they get down the aisle, stage the cake cuttin'...and how big is the family for the portrait?? Bring them to Lisdoon, what better way to snap them than overlookin the Cliffs or up The Burren..you might need a strong flash in the caves..I got one there a few years ago and havent been the same man since.
