I'll be at Cork Folk Festival for sure! It's basically on my doorstep. Would be class to meet some of you there. I've been practising the bog on my whistle and I think I can almost keep up now without falling apart at the flea verse.

Fleadh Cheoil, as always. I haven't missed one in fifteen years and I'm not about to start now. This year's going to be special. I can feel it in my bones.

Also planning to hit the Galway Arts Festival and maybe Doolin Folk Fest if the dates work out.

i will be at EVERY FESTIVAL where the flea verse might be sung. which is ALL OF THEM. i have a spreadsheet. i have a sleeping bag. i have a mission. THE FLEA VERSE WILL BE HEARD ACROSS THIS ISLAND

FLEA GANG

Right lads, here's the BogLord Summer Tour 2026:

1. Cork Folk Festival (mid June)
2. Doolin Folk Fest
3. Galway Arts Festival (doing a TALK, more on that later)
4. Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann (obviously)
5. Electric Picnic (September but I'm counting it)

Five festivals. Five chances to meet the community in person. I am BUZZING. This summer is going to be something special.
