Why is Dingle famous?
Often described as Bohemian, artistic, and genuinely friendly, Dingle is famed for its hardware pubs (where you can buy a pint and some wellies). But push out beyond the town and you're faced with an incredible 6,000 years of history and the Kerry coastline with its pounding waves, salty winds, dramatic cliffs and wide racing skies.
Do they speak English in Dingle?
Dingle feels so traditionally Irish because it's part of a Gaeltacht, a region where the government subsidizes the survival of the Irish language and culture. While English is everywhere, the signs, chitchat, and songs come in Gaelic.

Where did Amy Winehouse sing in Dingle?
Saint James's church! Amy took to the stage of Saint James's church and performed for a little over 20 minutes. She absolutely wowed the small, packed crowd, singing six songs from Back to Black accompanied for that one night only by guitar and bass.
