“Just before Christmas 2013, Shell Santa visited Belmullet District Court just before the court was due to sit to offer the Gardaí some whiskey. However, it seems they prefer if the drink is delivered in private, as the Shell Santa was quickly ushered to somewhere more discreet.”

Based in Texas in the 1800s, LaraeDó presents to us a young man from the East who has decided to head to the Wild West in search of adventure. That’s exactly what he gets!He finds himself in Fitzies saloon in the town of LaraeDó where he meets LaraeDó’s greedy rancher, preacher, wild Indians and saloon girls. Some of them are looking for a fight. Some are looking for romance. All are looking for drinkin’, singin’, and general mayhem …
They’d have found that down at the bottom of Quay street any night, in fairness..
