Chapter 67 : Ballyshannon, Ireland’s Oldest Town!

Looking for something to go with The Allingham Festival info, I came across this fine video on Youtube. Narrated by Barry Sweeny it tells something of the history of Ballyshannon and the surrounding area. So with thanks to all concerned and the old share button.

The Virtual Allingham Concert July 16th 2020

Another festival that decided online was the way to go has some very interesting video of that part of Donegal with a little entertainment as well. Very well presented and enjoyable and perhaps these covid times will shape all such events in the future. Have to say I'm not familiar with that part of the country but Donegal has some history. Will watch again. "No hawk no hound"...
