The search is on! Famous musicians mandola is missing after popular Tipperary festival

Kevin Molloy formerly of the Dublin City Ramblers as well as Jenny Greene and Sharon Shannon (who is pictured above) all appeared this year at the popular boutique festival.

The mandola (pictured below) of Dublin City Ramblers legend Kevin Molloy has gone missing and he has put out an appeal to Tipperary people to know if they might have seen it or found in after the recent Hoolie in the Hills festival where Kevin played. 

A firm lover of Tipperary, and a regular visitor to Kinnanes pub in Upperchurch, Kevin played a fantastic set last weekend at the popular boutique festival but his mandola has been missing since he returned to Dublin.

He says it may be in Dublin or Tipperary.

"Hi out there , making an appeal . My mandola gone missing after festival in Upperchurch , Tipperary, Sunday 4th of August , either in Tipp , or Kilnamanagh , Tallaght its a Richwood , in a black Boston gig bag , ever great full, ever hopefull," he said in an online statement. 

If you can help contact Kevin online or via the Hoolie in the Hills facebook page or via the above email address.
