Here at the Moorings, we've had the great pleasure of meeting
many celebrities and famous people from the worlds of the arts,
sports, politics and the media. And, after a while, you realize
that they're usually very nice, very regular people and nothing to
be afraid of. But we were a little bit starstruck when we found out
that BBC broadcasting legend - and there is no other word big
enough to encapsulate the man - Terry Wogan had chosen to stay with
us in the Moorings to film "Wogan's Ireland", a two-part
documentary series the BBC is broadcasting later this year.
Terry and his production crew arrived and settled into their
rooms before enjoying our hospitality in the Moorings
restaurant.
The main event was the Irish Night in the Bridge
Bar, where we have traditional Irish Music and dancing every
Tuesday night. Terry appeared to be having a great time, chatting
with the locals and soaking up the atmosphere.
And the verdict from the man himself?
"where the seafood leaps from the shore on to your plate, and
the 'craic' in the bar is mighty. Song and dance, fiddle and
bodhran, you'd never know there was a Depression"
That's from Terry's article, "The craic is mighty in
Portmagee" in the Telegraph where he has a regular column. Also
have a look at Terry's blog to keep up to date on
his whereabouts.
