blessed ireland!
how was the party?
rooob! c'mon tell us how was the party!!  Smiley
thanx!  Smiley
Oh wow, what a party, where to begin.

Arrived late Thursday night and within 5 mins was handed a beer, so lets start off as we mean to continue. After a bit of socialising it was kip down time ready for an early start on the Trance stage, my set was due to go out at 1.30pm. However, it rained hard practacally all day friday do the trance was called off. Mischief was provided by anyone and everyone and the day passed off with much hilarity especially 'The Wonky Gentlemans club'. I did like the Jeremy Beadle joke, but it was the Henry's superman joke that had me in stiches.

Saturday kicked off with Edoardo doing a minimal electro set which was blinding followed by the uber-talent of Grant Collins (Darshan - Excession) fuckin blinding mate !!!! The other acts I saw in Staurday were in the form of BeatNik fully sik intro to this set !! well twisted. then Tron, LiquidRoss and Dick Trevor, but by this time the liquid was fully kicking in and I felt like I needed to explore my mind so I went off wandering around the site for a few hours finally crashing out in my tent about 6am. I woke up to find everyone in the ID Spiral mini-dome.... SPANKED wasnt the word. So a day chilling out with progressive from the Domo guys Nadi & Huda G blaring from the rig was just what was needed.

Later on Sunday the Tom Lurk, Aurora, and Morph took to the stage to bring the entertainment whilst most people were making sure the girl with the 6 foot tall bottle of N2O wasnt going home with it even half empty.

Overall a great time was had by us all and Id definitly go back next year to support the young NI scene. Great friendly (ex IRA) security, beautiful location, great hospitallity thanks to Gemma and Charlie, and great food.

As all first time festivals, there is lots to sort out and lots of work in the organising, but its a learning curve and next years will be really something to look forward to.

Northern Ireland rocked !!!
