Wet Wet Wet! No, not them, the Bachelor Festival gigs

After all the fine spring sunshine of last week, and the Child of Prague statue on the stage ahead of the concerts in Blackhall, it was wet, wet, wet on Saturday afternoon and evening.

It didn't matter though. The atmosphere was good, and the artists did their best of get the crowd going and keep them going.

And the fun hasn't finished yet. The country stars are on stage today and the Local Heroes tonight, and the Westmeath Bachelor Competition itself is at Mullingar Arts Centre from 8pm.
