Thousands of festival goers are gonna go fool around on the grounds of Stradbally, and Kilkenny & Tipperary will be battling it out for the All-Ireland hurling title at Croker. So get your wellies on (not the hurling supporters - although I wouldn’t be surprised!) and get out there.

I’m gonna try and make it to both – but I’ll probably have seen enough hurling down at the Picnic and I’m not talking about the sport! Yes I’ll be handing out a load of Sandtex frisbees and alcohol, so keep your bleary eyes peeled. Just look for the Phantom FM sign cause that’s where I’ll be (only messin’ about the alcohol btw!!)

I’m really trying my best to get us good weather for the weekend but I do need your help too. All you have to do is join in the campaign by telling me how the weather’s going in your area, and with enough comments we’ll get the sun shining.

For those of you who aren’t festival fans or hurling hooligans, it’s gonna be a nice weekend so get Sandtexing! Those walls ain’t gonna paint themselves and it’s good to make the neighbours jealous from time to time. Doesn’t it feel great knowing that the cranky auld boot a few doors down will wish she had a freshly painted door and a nice new glossy gate just like yours!
