*draws long breath*
September 21: Fly from Ozistan to Dublin (via brief airport lounge stop in Singapore and HOPEFULLY brief stop in Heafffffrow)
September 22: Arrive Dublin, transfer to Galway.
23rd: Fly to Inis Mór, spend night in Kilronan. Back to Galway city next day.
Next 7 nights in Galway city, culminating with 2 nights of Christy Moore at The Black Box.
Thence, up to Grange in Sligo for 2 nights (looking forward to a pint or 7 with Noel). From there up to Bunbeg in Donegal for 2 nights.
Down to Cork for 5 nights. Then we're off to Dublin (in the green, in the green) from the 10th-18th October. Then fly self and daughters home to Ozistan...
Wait approximately 5-6 weeks until December 11-12ish, fly Sydney to Manchester (POGUES!), down to Brixton (POGUES!), then back over to Dublin (POGUES!), then fly out again, arriving back for Spendmas Day in Sydney with the out-laws and fambly.
*phew!*
