I’ve done a few weddings over the years in the Amber Springs in Gorey, and was down there again last month. I have to say they have some of the most helpful and friendly staff I’ve ever met, and I was just the hired help! Lovely gang at the wedding too, I drew for 3 hours and managed to keep the guests entertained even if I was competing with a World Cup match.
This is a signing board I did for the wedding reception of Erin and Ivan in Barnabrow Country House in Cloyne, East Cork. Had a fantastic night, was treated like an old friend, and had *a few beers…* as I was staying the night.
They booked me for live caricatures too, which went down really well! I’ll post them once I resize them.
I’ve a lot of catching up to do with my wedding coverage on this blog, so if you see yourself and your in the wrong wedding, forgive me, I can hardly remember who’s who any more!
In October I had 7 weddings over 2 weekends (including a Thursday) and I was in Cavan, Galway, Clare, Wexford and Wicklow over the course of a few days. These are some I did from a wedding in the always splendid Cloonacauneen Castle on the outskirts of Galway.
Off to Midleton in Cork for a wedding tonight. See you in a few days.
I was entertaining in the Tara Hotel, Killybegs in Donegal a few weeks ago (I’ve done loads of gigs in the last few months, which leaves very little time for blogging!). I took the kids up and made a weekend of it, as I don’t really get up that often. The weather was bloody scary actually, it lashed rain and made the journey to Greencastle about 5 hours.
The trip down to Killybegs didn’t take too long though, and the manager in the Tara Hotel couldn’t have been more helpful, he was even rounding guests up for me while I was drawing! I’d a great spot, looking out over the harbour, and my sitters sat in front of the window while the rest of the guests peered down from the balcony behind me. There was plenty of catcalling, until it was their turn to sit for me! Great craic and a lovely bunch of guests.
