On the cliffs...

Playlist

Various - Jukebox Shuffleplay

Various - Holiday Hits Vols 1-10

Krommer - Oboe Quintets and Quartets

Another big breakfast (no lunch required today or yesterday) and then back out on the road, this time heading north to the Cliffs of Moher...

On the way we stopped off in the little town of Ennis for a coffee...

...and I bought a CD of oboe quartets and quintets by Franz Krommer – a composer of whom I hadn’t previously heard but who now provided the soundtrack to our journey...

The weather broke down today and it was chilly and windy – especially on the cliffs – though this didn’t take away from the spectacle...

As you can see I was wearing my holiday clothes...

After the stop at Moher we drove on to the small village of Dingle and played probably the most incompetent round of Pitch & Putt in living memory – we must both have taken at least 150 each to get round the 18 holes...

Frozen to the bone, we enjoyed some coffee and cake at “the last music café before America”...

We drove back to Limerick and caught the tail end of today’s festival events...

...before a quick half in a little bar then on to Doolin’s Pub where we enjoyed a slap up feed with Alice Cooper’s radio show playing on the sound system...

Another busy and enjoyable day – during which we probably ate slightly too much for our own good...

Highlight of the Day : The cliffs, the pitch and putt, the food

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
