I took the train from Belfast and stayed overnight. I can recommend Peader O’Donnell’s pub, which may be one of the best pubs anywhere. I went in around 7, and left some time later. Great music, and atmosphere.

These two guys were in the audience at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2024 for Brandy’s set. She didn’t sing ‘Stripes’ but you gotta admire the effort.
