Comment by Michael Richardson on November 19, 2011 at 21:17: Yes of course I approve Tony, I am very flattered!

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on November 19, 2011 at 1:24: Do you approve, Michael?

And would you mind adding a touch o' class, to our 2012 poster? Hope not, as its a great shot. You can sign copies now that you're coming!

Comment by Kevin Freeney on November 19, 2011 at 1:04: The sunshine is real and it's from one of Paul's photos at the Hook Paint Out. It's a suggestion but it was ready-made for a poster even if the glamourous Niamh isn't like , in it.

Comment by Tony Robinson on November 18, 2011 at 22:20: Good poster. Is that Mr. Richardson? How'd you get the fake sunshine - or was the good Lord just especially well-pleased with him in this photo?

Is Niamh's contract as festival poster-girl officially cancelled, like?
