Hello, hello and welcome to the all-new, shiny thread for fire dancers, spinners, object manipulators, drummers, musicians and anyone else interested in these arts anywhere in Ireland.
Our community started coming together a few years ago, and it's grown to include people from all over the country...
If you are new to poi or staff or spinning stuff and want to meet up with any of the Irish spinners, please post in this thread, introduce yourself and feel free to come along to the workshops, gatherings or events that get talked about.
Also, if you'd like to be on my mailing list for fire gatherings and other juggling events, please PM me your email address and I'll add it. The fire gathering takes place fortnightly in Belfast, but it's one way to keep in touch with everyone.
So welcome, and hope to see you soon

Controversial, but i reckon we go clubbing baby seals near Finland... i know a good spot...
and we arrive in Germany wearing a fabulous downy soft cape. And our club swinging skillz will be unbeatable.
or we try and learn how to make crack. Im up for either really.

Stop it, stop it, stop it ... I don't do April fools a week late!
If anyone decides to pop down to Goldsmith Hall tonight they will be entertained by an orchestra rehearsing rather than by juggling!

Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
