Yeats Tavern & Davis Pub

Advantages: Handy stop-off on your travels
Disadvantages: A busy venue at all times of the day

...Driving northbound on the Sligo to Donegal road (N15) you are sure to drive through the picturesque village of Drumcliff. The Churchyard here is internationally recognised as the burial place of the poet WB.Yeats making this the definitive heart of Yeats Country. Drumcliff is also home to The Yeats Tavern Restaurant & Davis's Pub. One of Sligo?s oldest drinking and eating establishments, this fine pub/restaurant has been owned and run by the Davis family for over thirty five years. From the drinking mans local of the 1960?s, progressing on to their first menu of fresh fish, soup and sandwiches in the 70?s, the new century has seen this pub evolve to become a quality venue for eating and socialising. Open seven days a week, and only five miles from Sligo town, this is a popular spot frequented by both locals and visitors alike...

Review of Westlife

Aer we go no more

Advantages: Good basic flights
Disadvantages: little shabby looking

...asked why and was told that the aircraft was not in operation but they could bus me down that is a 3 hour journey and how am I supposed to get to my meetings on time when they could not even tell me when the bus would arrive in Dublin, so I drove. The Refund was given only after prompting 4 weeks later aaaargh. On the tuesday the press release was given saying they were cancelling the service so that made me realise that the only operational reasons were that they didnt want to run the service for the days before it would be cancelled , how dishonest. The apology email said that they will still fly to Dublin from Sligo 106 miles away from here so thats helpful isnt it. Anyway my advice would be check first to see that they will not do the same to you if you are booked with them. Check In This opened one hour before the flight from...

Review of Aerarran

world turned upside down

Advantages: very very good music
Disadvantages: not easy listening background music

...This album is a collaboration between McDermott's 2 Hours, often cited as a major influence on the levellers, and two of the levellers, namely Jeremy and Charlie. I bought this album because i love the leveller's music and was curious to see what this album was like and the first time i listened to it i have to admit to wondering what i had done! but then i listened to it again and realised, as the music and lyrics crept into my head and stayed there, that i had been mistaken, this was a very, very good album. It is essentially folk music,lots of fiddle and drum type music, with the undertone of social comment you expect to find in the leveller's usual albums. the tracks are: 1.world turned upside down 2.another campaign 3.the wheel 4.blue bandana 5.harry brewer 6.taking it on 7.la passionaria 8.laying the sligo maid i am...

Review of World Turned Upside Down - McDermotts (The)/Levellers (The)

Good food good wine and good craic

Advantages: excellent facilities
Disadvantages: having to go home

...we arrived, to find a very warm welcome from the hotel staff, not what we expected as our entourage comprised of about 19 teenage lads ages ranging from 15 -17 and about half a dozen very tired parents. The hotel is tastefully decorated, the 45 well appointed triple bedrooms and two wheelchair accessible rooms offer comfort and style to todays' traveller. All rooms have bath/power shower, direct dial telephone, cable television and hairdryer. Contemporary in design, the interior of the hotel gives a feeling of warmth and comfort with homely cosy couches sustaining the warmth of Mayos welcome, well beyond the front door. The downhill in is located on the Sligo road onthe outskirts of Ballina in the heart of the Moy Valley region, near the river Moy which is famous for salmon fishing. Whilst the boys went of in search...

Review of Westlife

The reason she has good skin.

Review of Oilatum Junior

Secrets and Lives

Advantages: Writing is beautiful and poetic, Story becomes increasingly compelling as you read
Disadvantages: In places spills over into melodrama, Dr Grene's entries often feel superfluous

...living in Sligo, a childhood that is as idyllic to her as it is strange to us, and gradually building up towards the present. She fondly remembers her father, a man who is largely respected by the local community - sufficiently so to hold the important post of keeper of the town cemetery - even as his religion largely puts him at arm's length from the rest of the town. But fate will not let their contentment be. When one evening, as Roseanne is visiting her father after school, sees a group of irregular (anti Anglo-Irish Treaty) soldiers break into the graveyard in an attempt to secretly bury their dead comrade, the consequences play out for the rest of all their lives. Dr Grene's journal, on the other hand, shows us a different sort of turbulence as he struggles to make sense of what has happened in his marriage and how the demolition...

Review of The Secret Scripture - Sebastian Barry

At the end of the day

Advantages: A cd that makes you become familiar with Irish folk music at once
Disadvantages: The last song is a bit boring

...The band from Sligo presents 14 songs that are masterpieces of recent Irish folk music. The traditional instruments (fiddle, bouzouki, concertina, mandola, whistles) create a sweet atmosphere that perfectly integrates itself with the female singer's sweet voice. Chords and fiddle are played in an excellent way and every time you listen to tunes like Touching Cloth, Peata Beag and The Trip to Sligo Set, joy fulfils your heart and mind, giving you the opportunity to stand up and dance (if you are listening to the cd in a place where you can stand up and dance!). The singer's voice is wonderful and the lyrics of the songs are very touching. The songs she sings tell stories about several complex characters such as misunderstood lovers, men who had to leave from Ireland to find a job?.. These songs are maybe a little too long but if...
