Hello, hello and welcome to the thread for all Irish fire dancers, spinners, object manipulators, drummers, musicians and anyone else interested in these arts in Ireland.
This thread was started nearly a couple of years ago now... and it's since grown to include more people, gatherings, events, fun and games than we had thought possible.
And it's still growing - so if you're new to the arts, or want to meet up with any of us, please post at the end of this thread to introduce yourself... or send me a PM with your email address and I'll add your name to our mailing list.
There are spinners, dancers and manipulators all over the country, and you'll find lots of them on here... don't be shy, we're nice
So welcome, and hope to see you soon

I second that - I'm from a place called Rivervalley in Swords (north county Dublin), there's a valley there. It has a River. In fact you might go so far as saying it's a "River Valley"
Are we on the same wavelength Dr F or are you talking about somewhere completely different
