Ham Sandwich in Dolans

After missing them at the SeaSession and apparently 3 times at the Electric Picnic ( all this year ), I manage to see the band Ham Sandwich live... in the Dolans warehouse.
Brilliant and full of energy, your man was on drunken fire to the delight of the crowd....

Bodyboarding in Lahinch

Once more this september we are greeted by  a gorgeous weather, so yesterday afternoon, it was head down to the Beach ( Lahinch for a change ) to see if i could improve my body-boarding skills ( I did not ) and do more picture coverage with the GoPro camera.
Not the biggest waves, but it was all fun under a gorgeous sun :D.

Ready to go

Gorgeous sun over the surf

Electric Picnic 2012 - Day 3

On the final day, I spent a lot more time in the Body & soul area, enjoying the sun, starting with a concert from Eleventy-four - which I had previously seen in Bourkes. An amazing choir entertained us in the afternoon, before I catch up with some Tipperary friends.

Marking the end of 3 beautiful days

Electric Picnic 2012 - Misc

So in the end it was the best thing ever. The weather was brilliant. The bands were fantastic. I saw the Cure for the first time, along with Sigur Ros. I bumped randomly into friends once in a while of the weekend, only to loose sight of them on the crowd hours later.

Did we mention the weather was brilliant? And the people and the artist, the food....

Sorry if you weren’t there !
