Edward and Shane from T&S to cycle/run Inishowen 100 this July

Edward and Shane Doherty from Tank & Skinny's are not celebrating the 10th birthday of their coffee shop in Muff sitting down. Oh no, they are going to be going off on the Inishowen 100 on their bicycles, and then running, arriving back in our wee village on what will culminate on the opening of Muff Feile 2026, but also their 10th birthday. Rumour has it there will be FREE food and entertainment then too!! Woohoo.

As they embark on this journey, it is to not only recognise their 10 years, but to raise money for two very important charities - the LauraLynn Hospice and Friends of Inishowen Hospice Cancer Support. 

The lads will be cycling 70 miles, and running 30 miles. Some (like myself) might say they are completely bonkers, but 'tis certainly all in a very good cause. And of course we all want to celebrate the heart of Muff village, that is T&S, on their 10th birthday. If you would like to donate to their chosen charities please do so at:

Ed and Shane 100 miles - every euro counts. Alternative you can certainly give a donation in the coffee shops: T&S Muff, Buncrana, Limavady, Letterkenny. No donation is too small, and no donation is too large!

For more information on the lads' preparation, and the build-up to the 10th birthday celebrations, follow Tank & Skinnys on Facebook and also via Instagram. 

Here's wishing both Edward and Shane lots of luck in their preparations, and we can't wait to welcome them back to the village that day (July 31st) and join in the celebrations then. Go boys go....

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...
