HOLLUM - Er komt weer een Irish Music Weekend en waar kan
dat beter dan in Onder de Vuurtoren in Hollum.
De Amelandse Ier Paul Martin
schrijft over editie 2013 het volgende. Hij kondigt er editie 2014 mee
aan:
"What an incredible weekend we had in July. Great music, wonderful crowds, fantastic weather, super location, excellent service (as usual) in the pannekoekhuis. From 21:00 on Friday until 19:00 on Sunday the place rocked to the beat of Celtic, Irish and the occasional Deep Purple and a bit of AC/DC for good measure. The Box o’ Bananas played for 3 1/2 hours straight on Friday evening and would have gone on longer had the police not been called by an insomniac neighbour. Saturday afternoon we had the Bananas and the Twangmen on the outside stage from 13:00 until 18:30. Superlative playing by Marjolein, Onno and Walter and I did my best to keep up with them!! The Amelander Shantykoor did us proud as well. Saturday evening was special as both bands played separately and then together for the finale - “breathtaking and magic” according to the many guests. On Sunday afternoon we were joined by a load of wonderful musicians from Ameland and the mainland and the crowd loved it. So did we!!

Thanks so much to everyone who made this possible - Ab,
Jitze and Wagenborg for the sponsoring, Monique and the pancake house crew for
their tireless efforts in keeping the beer flowing, the musicians for their
amazing musicianship and most of all you, the music lover and valued patron.
Only one thing left to say - We’ll be doing it again next
year - same time (July 11th to 13th 2014) - so put it in your agenda. Do not
miss it and book your accommodation early to avoid disappointment. Oh, yes, the
same bands are already booked for next year and maybe we’ll have some more
also. Whatever - it’ll be another fab weekend!!"
Irish Music Weekend 2014 van 11 t/m 13 juli.
