Launched 17 March 2010 (2 years ago)Paddies Day - it’s nothing without a healthy dollop of craic agus ceoil (fun and music, for those of us forgetting our Celtic roots), much like the dollop of mash we get atop of a good and proper stew.

Molly’s V.I.P? Then don’t miss out on the chance to join our exclusive V.I.P. area in the Blarney function room. We’ve got discounts and free platters and if you’re lucky, a commemorative Molly Malones Huili 2009 Bring Back Puck pint glass.
And if you’re not one, come in and grab an entry form.
Captivating tales and a poem or three, makes the Blarney Poetry evening the place to be...Featuring a well known group of Wellington literary artists.
Forget NZ Idol it’s TIDDLY IDOL. If you think you or your group has what it takes to be crowned Tiddly Idol for 2010 then grab an entry form and join us. Even if you don't think you have what it takes come listen to some one play their spoons or rock their bodhrán for three (including final) great nights of free entertainment.
“Goats at Mollys?” you say, Yes goats! That’s what’ll be here Sunday at Molly Malones, and even better, the best dressed goat gets given a crown and a sash and the proud knowledge of being KING PUCK...oh and its owner gets Puck’s weight in Murphy’s too. So bring your goats down.
So great it makes Alexander’s suffix a moot point. This is the night to really pit your Irish knowledge against other teams. What year did Munster beat the All Blacks and just who was singing about their brown eyed girl?….well if you think you know the answer to those and other questions then you may just win some of the $350 in bar tabs to be won.
This is it, the Grand Final, there is nothing more grand than a final...except for a grand, and that’s exactly what our Tiddly Idol will win. 2nd and 3rd won’t go home empty handed either, so come on down and listen to some fine Irish talent.
