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.

Point Coffee opens this coming Tuesday in QP

  Earlier today the new coffee shop in Quigley’s Point welcomed some family and friends for a taster and viewing of the new premises. It was a delight to be part of that taster and welcome. Although very much settled in Muff, I am and will always be a Quigley's Point gal at heart, so this coffee shop is a special one for myself here at Craic On Muff.  Point Coffee is due to open its doors to the public on Tuesday 21 st July at 7am. It will allow the village of Quigley’s Point and those passing by to fuel up on coffee at dawn, and be fully awake come the morning rush hour of work, family, and day-to-day life. Being the first coffee shop in Quigley’s Point there is undoubtedly much excitement about this opening. Local business, neighbours and friends all popped in today for a nosey. And no one was disappointed. You will find a lovely seating area within. As all is new it’s got that lovely newness feel to it, and yet the smell of coffee makes it feel homely. You will find...

Christmas Dance at Muff Community Hall with Shunie Crampsey

 There really is something magical watching people dancing. From contemporary songs to the very traditional 'Shoe the Donkey', it was all things dancing this Sunday night. The people of Muff and far beyond showcased true magic on the dancefloor tonight at St. Mary's Hall here in the village.  Shunie Crampsey has been providing the music and song here in the community hall monthly for the past 18+ months. Tonight was the Christmas dance and it showcased the importance of music and dance for the soul. People coming together to sit and listen, to get up and dance, to just talk. And a fabulous supper was enjoyed by all, catered by The Cabin.  Events like this show what community is all about. And the community within the village hall tonight felt very strong and very festive. People came from all over Inishowen and Derry to enjoy the dance. And no doubt will return in the future to do likewise. Huge thanks must go to all the members of Muff hall who work hard behind the scene...

Happy Birthday Tank & Skinny's

  The first coffee shop in Muff was a pop-up for ‘one day only’ at McColgans Butchers . Myself Gráinne McCool, and Teresa Cregan, had talked often about the need for a coffee shop in the village. Local butcher Thomas suggested we come into his shop one day and he’d show us a coffee shop – and he did. True to his word, on January 29 th 2014, over two years before Edward and Shane had the idea (just saying lads), Thomas brought some fresh scone, butter and jam, and made myself and Teresa coffee, (wee drop of whiskey too) in his butcher shop. He had the chairs for us also. That day, Teresa, myself, Thomas and Connor talked about the need for a coffee shop in the village. We knew back then that it was just what Muff needed. So, we were the first crew to get excited when the news broke that two brothers from the Buncrana area were opening a coffee shop in Muff. Many folk said it would never work. Ah ha, but we knew better. When Tank & Skinny’s opened those doors on Friday 31...
