Music Festival Fever is hitting Portlaw for almost two weeks now,
with the big event,
'ALLTOGETHERNOW'
beng held in Curraghmore estate during the forthcoming bank holiday weekend.
Vehicles laden with equipment are driving through the area
for some time, raising dust clouds everywhere after them,
due to the abnormally dry weather.
Big surprise today, July 23rd, was seeing this tall communications mast
being erected right outside the front door of
Clonagam Church!
Initially TV/Radio broadcasting came to mind,
until someone suggested it was to facilitate mobile phone users,
as the festival location is down in somewhat of a hollow beside
Curraghmore farmyard.
Am glad to notice some local shops are getting business from the many
workers who are here already.

Despite the music festival fever just a few fields away, life goes on,
carrying away the bales of straw from what appears to have been
a very successful crop of winter wheat.
Meanwhile, some locals were taking it easy at the fountain and enjoying
the much increased flow of people and traffic through the village.

Enjoying the Clonagam area, where he can regularly be seen,
