Highlights Of Féile ’92 'Trip To Tipp' Music Festival, Ireland 1992

The musical event of the year Féile ’92 takes place over three days in Thurles County Tipperary.
Liberty Square in the centre of Thurles was almost as full as Semple Stadium, where Luka Bloom, David Byrne and Byran Adams entertained thousands of young people over the August bank holiday weekend. Many set up home for the duration of Féile in campsites located in nearby fields.
Galway band The Saw Doctors were one of the headline acts. Singer Leo Moran says the atmosphere at their concerts is down to the enthusiasm of their fans,
Every gig that we do, it’s just like a big singalong.
This episode of ‘Jo-Maxi’ was broadcast on 28 September 1992. The reporter is Shauna Lowry.
‘Jo-Maxi’ was a youth lifestyle programme targeted at ten to fourteen year olds on Network 2, a rebranded version of RTÉ 2 introduced in Autumn 1988. The programme contained features on a broad range of topics including animals, fashion, music, books and profiles of young people voicing their views on various subjects. The original presenters on the show were Ray D’Arcy, Geri Lalor, Clíona Ní Bhuachalla and Antoinette Dawson. It was first broadcast on 10 October 1988. In 1993 it was rebranded as ‘JMTV’ and continued until 1994.

Those were the days my friends, playing music, talking, telling stories and joking, laughing our heads off, not a care in the world having a good time, Where have all the good times gone, don't worry they are with us most of the time is we stop and look around, call the Doctors of music, The Saw Doctors and everything will be rocking and rolling in the hay again

Does anyone remember a lad fell from the rafters of the main stand? I saw it happen. Hope he was ok. I never found out after.

Got lifted in a Stop N Search leaving the campsite amazing that nothing has changed in the subsequent 34 odd years on the regressive little rock!
At least gay men can hold hands so I suppose that's progress and who cares about those dastardly pot heads and their right to behave as adults!
