Gaydar plays ‘matchmaker’ at The Outing LGBT Festival Lisdoonvarna, Co.Clare Ireland


The new teams at Gaydar are in the mood to celebrate the upcoming launch of their new site coming to a tablet, desktop and mobile screen near you very soon.

Gaydar have years of online matchmaking experience, just over 17 to be exact! They’ve helped thousands of gay men and women (GaydarGirls) make new friendships (both local and further afield), arrange dates in numerous countries, cities, towns and villages and in many cases, find long term life partners. They seem to know what they’re doing when it comes to online dating, and now plan to use their skills and expertise in the world of offline dating and what better place to do this than at ‘The Outing’ Lisdoonvarna Ireland– The World’s first and only gay and lesbian (LGBT) Matchmaking Festival.

Now in its fourth year and going stronger than ever, The Outing Festival attracts members of the LGBT community from all over the world. It’s literally got everything you could want from an LGBT weekend festival including pop-up clubs, drag performances, comedy, live music, arts, literary/Film Festival (GAZE) and interactive events. If you haven’t already heard, B*Witched, Panti Bliss, Alan Hughes (TV3) Blind Date and Jonny Woo to Le Gateau Chocolat will all be performing and a lot more.

Craig McCormack, Marketing Manager at Gaydar comments: “We’re extremely excited to join forces with The Outing this October. At Gaydar, we’re all about helping our members create connections that last and as a long established digital dating brand it will be great to experience and play a part in the various matchmaking events that take place ‘offline’ over the weekend of The Outing Festival. We’ll also have news and updates to share with you all about our new site (launching October). So you can bet we’ll be in the mood for celebrating! Keep an eye out for us as we’ll no doubt be buying a few rounds at the bar Irish style’

As Panti Bliss said “The Outing takes something quintessentially Irish and dips it in glitter. It opens up the idea of “traditional Irishness” to the LGBT community and says, actually, yes, you can be LGBT and still be as Irish as the Lisdoonvarna Festival.”

“An LGBT weekend away like no other”, according to festival host Panti Bliss, The Outing is a fusion of music, comedy, céilí bands and some of Ireland’s & International best Dj’s, Performers and drag artists. But don’t forget why you’re in Lisdoonvarna in the first place. This is a matchmaking festival going for over 160 years and you’re looking for love or friendship.

Yes ‘You’re Not The Only Gay in This Village’ said Eddie McGuinness Festival Director & Creator.
