  • And a Letter to My Customers ===
    --- == ROOTS & RHYTHM - SALE 01/12/2014 - AND A LETTER TO MY CUSTOMERS === --- Dear Friends Happy New Year! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. NOTE: Regrettably our holiday season was the slowest we've ever seen and it may mean that we will not be able to continue operating our business for very much longer. I am no longer a young man (not by a long shot!) and don't have the energy to pursue ways in which we may be able to promote the business. I would love to be able to settle down and listen to all the music I have gathered over the years in a relaxed setting and with critical reviewing faculties turned off. I would love to see Roots & Rhythm continue and thrive and even if we make it through the current crisis I would still like to get away from the stress of running a business so I am open to having someone else take over and move the company forward. If you are such a person or know such a person please contact me and we can discuss it. This list consists of a sale which we hope will raise enough money to help us get caught up with our suppliers and our taxes as well as some other pressing expenses. This list features 600 titles in all covering all the genres of music we specialize in and featuring books, DVDs and compact discs. This list includes manufacturer?s overstocks and deletions, our own excess inventory and a lot of titles that have been sitting on our shelves that have never been listed before.

    Nuacht | News Aug 28 09 : ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: ::: —» 24 August 2009 - REPS Slurry Spreading Period Extended The Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Mr Brendan Smith TD, today announced a temporary measure to assist REPS farmers affected by current weather conditions. The measure applies to farmers in REPS 3whoarerequiredtohavespreadalltheslurryproduced during the winter housing period by 31 August. "I recognise that the current weather conditions make it difficult for some REPS farmers to get their slurry spread by the end of this month," Minister Smith said. "Indeed the Nitrates Regulations would rule out spreading in many areas at the moment. For that reason, I have agreed to extend the deadline to 15 October which is the deadline in the Nitrates Regulations themselves and also applies to farmers in REPS 4." While recognising the problems caused by the bad weather, the Minister stressed that all REPS farmers - and all other farmers - remain subject at all times to the overriding obligation to avoid causing pollution. "Indeed all good farmers will be even more conscious at the moment of the increased risk of inadvertently causing water pollution and they will be taking special care to avoid it,"hesaid. Section 18(2) of the European Communities (Good Agricultural Practice for Protection of Waters) Regulations 2009 (the "Nitrates Regulations") provides as follows : "Fertilisers or soiled water shall not be applied to land in any of the following circumstances - (a) the land is waterlogged; (b) the land is flooded or likely to flood; (c) the land is snow-covered or frozen; (d) heavyrainisforecastwithin48hours,or (e) the ground slopes steeply and, taking into account factors such as proximity to waters, soil condition, ground cover and rainfall, there is significant risk of causing water pollution." —» Family history workshop - As part of Heritage Week, The Western Family History Assoc- iation has organised a workshop which will take place on Saturday August 29 in the Claregalway Hotel from 2pm to 6pm.

  • Welcome to the 41St Tønder Festival Last Year’S 40Th Jubilee Was a Huge, Warm Celebration of 4 Decades of International and Danish Folk Roots Music in Tønder
    Welcome to the 41st Tønder Festival Last year’s 40th jubilee was a huge, warm celebration of 4 decades of international and Danish folk roots music in Tønder. It also marked the launch of the Tønder Festival of the future. Hand-made music with roots in folk, country, blues, cajun, world and the rest has seen yet ano- ther massive renaissance these past few years. Tønder Festival has been part of this all the way. The rebuilding of the festival is a process that began in 2012, and 2015 sees the topping out. This year’s music programme reflects today’s genre-crossing artists, the bearers of the strong traditions and new, young names. International giants in the veteran class side by side with the top musicians of the future. This year again, Tønder Festival’s audiences will find a festival site alive with many different mu- sic venues, special thematic zones and a wide selection of restaurants, cafés and sales booths. Four days’ immersion in a unique festival atmosphere with its well-defined identity and audiences who love the music and the vibe. 2014 was also the year when the conductor’s baton changed hands. Tønder Festival’s artistic director Carsten Panduro retired and the new management took over. The new management team inherited a festival that turned loss to profit in 2014, a festival with huge and growing local and regional backing and enormous media attention. There have been digital changes, too. Tønder Festival has a new website and an intensified pre- sence on social media. Tønder Festival has as its main priority, as always, and more than ever, active contact with old and new audience members, those who buy wrist bands to participate in our unique, close fellowship centred on acoustic music of the highest calibre.
