Friends of Mór 2003 & Mór 2004,

As the founders of Mór 2003 and Mór 2004, we would like to inform you that, to our huge regret, we will not be organising a festival this year. We would also like all punters, artists, enthusiasts and other interested parties to be aware that we are not involved in any other festivals happening in Charleville Castle under the name "Morfest" or any other name.

We are aware of the high levels of enthusiasm shown for the festival in the past couple of years. We're really keen to get it up and running again as soon as we can, in part because so many want it, but also because we feel Ireland still needs a festival of this kind. So although we intend to maintain the festival's commitment to innovative music, independent ethos and friendly environment, certain aspects of the festival's organisation do need to be reconsidered. This will take some time, so we ask you to bear with us.

We apologise for the relative lack of communication in recent times. As you will appreciate, making this choice was not easy and we had to look at all our options before coming to a decision. The festival will return and we will keep you informed of further developments as soon as possible. The new incarnation will be revealed in 2006, and we will be involved in other events until then. To sign up for future news bulletins, please send an e-mail to [email protected].

Sincerely,

The Organisers of Mór '03 & '04
 
Yeah, it's crap that it's not going ahead this year and that there appears to be bad blood from the castle owner to the organisers, but at least things are looking promising for future events. Glad to see yiz aren't just packing it in. Ireland definately needs a festival like Mor (the REAL Mor, not the one that seems to be taking place this year).

Best of luck with it lads and lassies!
 
Isn't there some castle down in Wicklow that has hosted dance stuff in the past? Drumolin or something like that?

Just an idea!

Glanart Castle, maybe? There've been loads of dancey things down there. In fact, Go Trabi are putting a gig on there this Friday.

If that's the one you're thinking of, then yeah, we know about it, all right.
