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....

Mura gets ready for retirement!

Image
  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...

Christmas Dance at Muff Community Hall with Shunie Crampsey

Image
 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...

KNEECAP sends video to young Muff bakers

Image
 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
