October 2015 - Anne Feeney's Fellow Travelers' Advisory - Volume 10, Number Five




So long, summer!




Dan and Sebastian at Swallow Falls, Deep Creek Lake, MD

You are very welcome on my 2016 Irish Tour  
May 1-10 - Dublin, Clonakilty (County Cork)
and Ennistymon (County Clare)


Seats are going fast for the 2016 tour of Dublin, Clonakilty, and Ennistymon, County Clare in my beloved Ireland - only 8 seats left.  See the real Ireland at Ireland's pace.   Our luxury coach accommodates 33, but we limit the tour to 24 so that we aren't crowded on the tour.

 Please contact our fabulous liaison, treasurer, and oracle, Vicki Belinoski - vbelinoski@austin.rr.com to reserve a seat or get more information.  Also, my August Fellow Travelers' Advisory is available at http://fellow-travelers-advisory.blogspot.com/ and includes a lot more of the tour details. Paddy just sent me the hotels where we are confirmed:

May 1, 2 and 3 -  The Harding Hotel, Dublin

May 4,5 and 6 - The Clonakilty Hotel, Co. Cork

  May 7, 8 and 9 - The Falls Hotel, Ennistymon, Co. Clare

On Mayday 2015 Jan Hammarlund of Stockholm Sweden and I drove to from Pittsburgh to Chicago for a very special event. The 2015 Joe Hill 100 Roadshow began at the monument to the Haymarket Martyrs. From Chicago to St Paul with 8 stops along the way ..  Honoring Joe's idealism, rebel spirit, inspiring and funny songs, and legacy of resistance, we joined JP Wright, Bucky Halker, Li'l Rev Revenson and many other great musicians as we played 10 performances in as many days.  The performances were great -- educational, inspiring and entertaining. The shows were either free with a hat-pass or a $5 cover. Most nights there was less than $100 for each musician, and no allowance for travel or expenses.
The tour planners wanted most of the shows to be free or very inexpensive.  Our wages are to come from the Go Fund me site set up to finance the tour. Due to a number of technical problems, the donation website did not go up until after our tour was over on May 10th.  I don't think most activists even know that the site exists.  To date it hasn't topped $1100 - which is going to be split many many ways. The tour is continuing with terrific players -  Charlie King, Magpie, George Mann, Mark Ross and many more.  It will end on November 19th in Salt Lake City, where Joe Hill was executed.  If you can make a donation to the Joe Hill 100 GoFundMe site before November 19, it will go to all the musicians who participated in the important labor-of-love-of-labor.

August 2015 - Anne Feeney's Fellow Travelers' Advisory - Volume 10, Number Three

This is Volume 10, #3 of the Fellow Travelers' Advisory.  It's my once-a-month missive to all my friends, family, fans, folkies and fellow travelers. Thanks for reading... I don't know what I'd do without you!!  

If you don't live near any of the places where I am playing, I'll bet that if you put on your thinking cap you'll come up with someone you know in one of those places.  If you'd be nice enough to forward my newsletter to them, or just leave a memo on their facebook page - tell 'em to turn out for some good old-fashioned hellraising music - I'd be so grateful.




Labor Day Weekend in Salt Lake City with 
Judy Collins, David Rovics and many of my favorite labor minstrels!!
After my adventures in Utah, I'm off to Sweden for a month with my husband, and he'll be coming back to the US with me. While I'm there, I'll be doing some shows with my pal, 
Jan Hammarlund

IRELAND - MAY 1ST THROUGH TO MAY 10TH - DUBLIN, CORK AND CLARE!!

I've got lots more details with more excitement still in the planning stage. On the morning of April 30th, you'll arrive at Shannon Airport on the beautiful West Coast of County Clare. You'll be met by Peter from Ace of Cabs. who will take you to your bed and breakfast in charming Bunratty.  After a brief nap, you can explore the village, perhaps do some shopping, have a pint at Durty Nelly's - a real landmark. You might consider the medieval banquet at Bunratty Castle for dinner.  It's a little pricey, and some would say "touristy" -but hey, we're tourists, n'es?t ce pas

THE TOUR HASN'T STARTED YET!!

We strongly recommend that you book your travel so that you arrive before 11 AM on April 30th  at Shannon Airport.  We also recommend a good night's sleep on Irish soil before the tour starts.  You are certainly free to make different arrangements, but this is what we recommend.  

WE BEGIN

After a sumptuous breakfast at Patricia or Sheila and Frank's lovely Bed and Breakfast, Paddy Downes will arrive with his luxury coach to take us all to Dublin.  We'll drive across Ireland on Mayday.  Perhaps we'll make a couple stops along the way, and arrive in Dublin in time for our first group dinner.  The next day, historic Dublin is ours.  Our exact plans in Dublin are still in the formative stage, but our time in Dublin will include a visit to Kilmainham prison, the General Post Office, Dublin Castle, the Four Courts, St. Stephen's Green, the Shelbourne Hotel. We'll also visit the Guinness brewery and take the tour if time permits.  We'll also hear some great music every night.

Our plan is to spend 3 nights in Dublin (1-2-3), 3 nights in Cork City(4-5-6) and 3 nights in Ennistymon, County Clare (7-8-9).  After breakfast on the 10th, Paddy will deliver you to Shannon Airport, if thvat is where you're going.  If you have other plans, we'll do our best to assist you.  I'll be adding more details next month.  We want you to have time for yourselves, to get a good night's rest each night.  We typically start our day at around 10 AM, after breakfast.  You early birds will have time for a little morning exploring.  The pace of our tours is Ireland's pace.  Some folks call it the "un-tour" - We ae very flexible, casual and relaxed.

The tour includes all ground transportation, 9 nights' hotel, all breakfasts, three wonderful group dinners, ferries,  admission to all heritage sites and more.  It's a great value. This is my 7th or 8th tour and they have all been fabulous.  I can host 22 people on the tour, and I hope that you're one of them.  I know at least 100 Irish songs (some of you already know that) and I'm a great student of Irish history, jokes and beverages.

You are responsible for your transportation to Ireland, your cab to Bunratty, your first night at the Bed and Breakfast,  all your lunches, your dinners the other six nights of the tour, your beverages, tips and souvenirs.  You'll probably another $1000, depending on how much cool Irish stuff you can't resist... wonderful woolens, gorgeous jewelry, crystal and much more.

The cost of the tour is $2300, based on double occupancy.  It's a great value.  We only had  two single rooms and they are gone.  I'll be happy to pair up compatible roommates for the rest of you.  Besides there are a lot more fun things to do in Ireland  with the $500 single supplement..  

Your $800 deposit will guarantee your spot.  There are two more subsequent payments of $750. (Plus the other $500 if you're in one of the two single rooms.)  We accept credit cards, if that is most convenient for you. 

 Contact vbelinoski@austin.rr.com - She's our beloved wizard and treasurer.

 I am so looking forward to a relaxing and inspiring musical tour of dear Ireland.

Refund policy: 100% of money refunded up to 4 months out. Less than 4 months out, 100% refunded only if the slot can be filled. If slot can't be filled, 50% of all money refunded up to 3 months out and no refunds less than 3 months out. I suggest guests purchase trip insurance such as http://www.travelguard.com


Well, that's it for August.  See you in September!
