Seafaring Festival Launched Today



I was delighted to be at the launch of a fun sounding new festival for Waterford City this evening in the Theatre Royal. The Waterford Seafaring Festival of Music & Song, the brainchild of our local sea shanty group Hooks & Crookes (pitured above singing at the event today), will run from May 28th-30th next in venues all around the city.

It should be mighty craic. Check out their website on www.hooksandcrookes.com for more details.

Could this be yet another beginning of good things happening in Waterford? There seems to me to be an air of almost general optimism permeating the city at the moment. Could it be true or am I mad?
