Dear friends, valued customers, colleagues in the media, dear linen – lovers!
This is our last communication to “the world” before the 28th Open Day and Yard Fest. I have attached our last- minute- press release “From Everywhere to Derrylane” below. We are sending it out in English only but international circle of recipients as well.
Enjoy reading it and don’t hesitate to pass it on, use it in your internet – presence etc. Anyone who needs the full programme(s) again or hasn’t got it yet, see here or let us know now!
Two questions have been asked repeatedly in recent weeks, I just want to touch on them in a few sentences.
– Who are the spectacular surprise guests during the evening gig? We know that there have been many rumors but we will stick with the surprise announcement. I can tell you that much: He/they are very special in the true sense of the word. You’ll just have to come and see for yourself!
– The other one has also to do with the music – side of the event: Many people want to know what happened to Dearbhla Mc Taggart, the amazing young Irish Harpist we promoted during the last few years.
The answer is two – fold: Dearbhla had a baby – boy just less than a year ago. At her tender age a large untertaking which takes up a massive lot of her time and energy.
She is doing very well at it and will be at the Open Day and Yard Fest with the little beauty.
She still wanted to go back to playing the harp but a torn ligament which is linguering is giving her a lot of trouble. We had actually planned to feature her this year for just one piece oin stage (with Hermann) but the injury just doesn’t allow it yet. Despite that we are very happy to have her at Flax Mill this coming Saturday. Some of you who have been missing her on stage can tell her then.
So much for this, now enjoy our last minte news and contact us for any other details.
On Friday and Saturday our phone (0044) (0)28777 42655 will be (wo)manned from 6 am.
Can’t wait to see you on Saturday, 11th.
