Peter: > >>Money? You mean some people actually get money for these activities? > >>Poetry, writing, painting, music.....? Good heavens above.

As a taxpayer of many years standing, I retain the right to curiosity as to why, of all the spondulicks I've selflessly had extracted from me over the years to fund the Irish Arts Council, not a penny has ever gone to support the SoundEye Festival. It is, after all, by far the most enterprising literary festival in the southern part of Ireland these days, even if their lineup is sometimes a little suspect.

Next you know, he'll be claiming to be Irish! best, T -- ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.soundeye.org/trevorjoyce
