Cork Folk Festival Céilí Mór
I'm heading to Cork next month for the Cork Folk Festival. Last years festival was great and the Céilí on the Grand Parade on the Sunday was mighty craic. This year on Sunday the 13th they're hoping to set the world record for the largest Irish Céilí band, ( details here) I'm planning to be there with the mandolin. I received the list of sets we'll be playing and thought people here might like to see it.

Re: Cork Folk Festival Céilí Mór
Interesting to see The Siege of Ennis using Jigs. I've only seen it using Polkas - usually starting with the The Tulla (aka The Siege of Ennis) Polka.
