Macnas Needs Stewards!

Come along this Sunday and help Macnas!

Would you like to be involved in the Macnas Parade? Then come along this Sunday and be a steward!

Being a steward is one of the most important jobs in the Parade. Stewards work with Macnas, the Gardai and Civil Defence to ensure the Parade runs safely and smoothly for audiences and participants. You must be aged 18 or over and be free from 1pm til 6pm on the day of the Parade, this Sunday 22nd July.

As a steward, you get a great view of the Parade, access to privileged areas and are invited to the Macnas after party, held this year in Cuba, Bar903.

So if you’re interested, or know anyone who might be, contact Jean on 091 568896 or email thefield[at]macnas.com

On Saturday I’ll be entertaining the children from Chernobyl at their picnic in Woodquay in Galway and then on to Cloonacauneen Castle for a wedding. On Sunday I’ll be playing one of the many characters in the Macnas Parade (yes they asked me nicely again this year!)

And then there’s the second week of the Arts Festival…

Deep breath…

Congratulations to Columb McBride who retired from the Hawkswell Theatre in Sligo last week.

Remember an Allan Cavanagh Caricature makes an excellent retirement present!

If you’d like to make an enquiry contact me here.

Charlie and I went along to see Mark Thomas in the Radisson Hotel last night as part of the Galway Arts Festival. Charlie is reviewing the show for the Connacht Tribune and I did the above to go along with it.
There were some teething problems, and a lesser man would have skinned the sound and light operators alive for a) not turning the stage lighting on when he entered and even then having to be told to do it and b) the feedback and distortion on his mike in the first half. Thomas just made a joke of it, comparing them to the people in charge of our water supply! (although I’d trust a hill of ants to do a better job of our water situation than the officials of City Hall at this stage).

In my unbiased, objective, balanced and scientific opinion Mark Thomas is a genius. So there.

I’d 293 visitors to my main website on Monday. Where did most of them go? The smoking cartoon!
