Then head over here and follow the instructions. 🙂 I can honestly say it was the best festival I was at last year and the lineup this year is superb. Standard weekend camping tickets are €85 and you can view the full lineup on spiritoffolk.com

Dublin Tall Ships Festival 2012
It’s nice having a small part in a massive project that turns out really well. Last weekend was the Dublin Tall Ships Festival which ran from Thursday to Sunday. It was a huge success with 1.15 million people turning up over the four days to the gigs, ship tours, funfair, Kings of Concrete, outdoor film screenings and family fun areas. A tremendous amount of organisation went into it by a lot of talented people and there was a brilliant vibe around the docklands.
I was involved in consulting on the web site initially and also spent some time on the Twitter and Facebook accounts. I was also lucky enough to be out on a boat taking photos for Sunday’s Parade of Sail. The ships looked magnificent as they sailed out into the bay and I was sad to see them go. You can view the full photo set on Flickr here. Let’s hope they visit again soon.

Friday Photo – Ultimate classic parking
Da caught this in Meath last week. The guy went into the shop and parked on a yield sign. Unbelievable.
I’ve been to Electric Picnic for the past few years and I really enjoy the vibe (especially the Body & Soul area). The lineup is stellar this year with Elbow, Hot Chip and Villagers being particular personal highlights and it’s on from the 31st August to the 2nd of September (full lineup here – PDF). Want a chance to win tickets? Well, the Electric Ireland Tweet Hunt is back for 2012 to give you the opportunity. From Monday 13th (today) to Friday 17th August inclusive, Electric Ireland are giving one lucky person four tickets – that’s five days, five winners and four tickets each. What have you got to do? Simples:
1). Follow @ElectricIreland on Twitter.
2). Tweet the following hashtag: #sharetheenergy which will zoom the live map in on a location. The more tweets, the closer the zoom.
3). Get to the location and keep your eyes peeled for the revealing of the hidden codeword. Tip: use the mobile site whilst you’re out and about.
4). Once you’ve spotted it, send it to @ElectricIreland via direct message.
5). The lucky winner will receive a phone call with details to collect them.
Best of luck folks!
