Ronan Keating visits Muff

 The village of Muff was entertained with a visit from Ronan Keating last night. Locals and staff alike were allowed to chat and enjoy Ronan and his crew. 

Just before 8pm, Claire, manager at The Muff Liquor Homeplace welcomed Ronan and his crew to the premises. Ronan took time and walked around the interior before chatting and allowing photos with customers. 

Ronan had been filming in Derry yesterday and has been in the North West this past week. He was very eager himself to return to The Muff Liquor Co. Just over a year ago, himself, Ryan Tubrity and Russell Crowe all arrived in the village as part of the opening day at The Muff Liquor homeplace. A very busy and crowd filled day was had on that occasion.

Last night Ronan blended in with the locals and made his own way around the premises with Claire as the perfect host. The staff were kept busy with cocktail making for both customers and the celebrity crew. Ronan happily posed for photographs and chatted freely. His crew told myself that they were delighted to be in the village and really enjoyed the Muff Liquor experience. 


Just before 9pm Ronan and the crew left the premises and went the short drive to

The Treehouse Bar & Restaurant for a much needed dinner after their busy day. Joe and staff there had dinner ready and a very enjoyable meal was had in private and they were able to watch the Golf. Ronan was rather delighted with the Europe win and will no doubt be able to tell where he was when Europe won the Ryder Cup 2025 - defeating the US at Bethpage Black. He was right here in Muff!!

Our wee village is very special to all of us, and now thanks to great businesses in the village, it's becoming special to the world.

Mura gets ready for retirement!

  In just over one weeks’ time, our village will have another retiree. A retiree who has given so much to Muff. He moved to Muff from neighbouring Fahan in 1989. Although working in the village prior to this, Mura McLaughlin has long since established himself as a permanent fixture, community member and one of the hardest working members of Muff village. Mura was a Customs Man from 1981 through to 1992. He then proceeded on a career with Irish Life. In the early 90’s Mura began volunteering in the village and was always there to lend a hand at the preparation and delivery of festivals and more. And of course you could find him on the dramatic stage too. In 2007 Mura began working with what is now Muff Community Development. And in 2011 he became manager there. Mura has a team of committee members behind him and a team of workers alongside him, but he himself has been instrumental in much of the development that has taken place in our community in the past 25 years. The fabulo...

KNEECAP sends video to young Muff bakers

 On Sunday last The Great Muff Bake-Off took place as part of the annual Muff Féile here in the village. The Bake-Off is in memory of a young local chef who sadly passed away, James Rehill. Every year it draws much attention and none more so than this year. One of the organisers remarked on Sunday that it was one of the 'biggest' Bake-Offs to date. There was a children's U10's and U 12's and then Adults. One of the children's entries was a creation by Jenny Rose McLaughlin and friend Alex Marner. There's was a 'Kneecap' cake. Micky Doherty and the judges all agreed it tasted as good as it looked and it proudly took 3rd place. Earlier today KNEECAP saw the video and DJ Provai sent a video message to Jenny Rose. We think he was rather impressed with the cake indeed. Maybe he'll come himself next year and enter the next Bake-Off, or even give us a performance.        You just never know where The Muff Féile will reach.  GMcC
