I've no idea how many signed up but there can never be too many.
You'd probably get a cheap flight at short notice. Not too late for an OFC gathering in Clonakilty.
The lyrics are easy:
[Am] Óró sé do bheatha abhaile
[G]Bhfearr liom tú ná céad bó bhainne
[Am] Óró sé do bheatha abhaile
A[Am]nois ar [Em]teacht an [Am]tsamhraidh |

Probably a record for guitar ensemble playing a song in the Irish language.
On the positive side, met an Ovation Legend and an Applause (same neck/headstock as mine but was acoustic/electric with cutaway). Also some non-Kaman roundbacks which the local shop there used to sell. |
