Well, I’ll certainly give it a try, but I’m not very knowledgeable about these sort of things – oh well, my mum always used to tell me that God loves a tryer!!
It’s an event that takes place on an island.
Three words – 5 letters, 4 letters, 3 digits.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
3rd letter of first word takes the letter ‘r’ from Cisapline Rupublic.
It takes place on an area of the island, which shares its name with a musical instrument.
I’m not sure if this is any good, I hope it’s not totally crap!

Actually I don't know the answer to this one either.
Well, Intrepid, you should try to answer this one and then throw me a clue I can answer.
Anyway, we do need more people to play, as yk and I think quite similarly. I usually find her clues fairly doable -- or at least I know how to use Google to get the answers. It's good to have a different set of clues thrown into the mix.
I'm guessing the instrument is harp, as related to a region in the Scottish Highlands, but I don't know if this is right and I can't seem to uncover anything via Google.

Now I see it must be some sort of motorcycling event on Ireland, but I still don't know what it is!
I'll try it again later. I need to tend to a few things.
Maybe there'll be someone else who knows by the time I get back.

Correct!!
Portrush is on the North Coast of Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. The other two local towns - Coleraine and Portstewart make up the world famous North West 200 course known as the 'Triangle'.

Ah, thanks!
I think that most people just don't want to bother with searching for the answers.
I guess I can give a clue now, but if it sits for too long, maybe someone else should give a clue.
I was just at this store yesterday, so it makes for a reasonable clue. m_kingdom will have no trouble with it, that's for sure.
Clue: This (nationality: 6) designer (2 words: 3, 6) has just split with (label: 5) yet again!
5th letter of designer's last name = "e" (form West).

That's right! Well, I'm trying to entice new people to play, so I've to give a baby clue once in a while.
(Actually I still don't think that my clues are that difficult.)
It was an interesting experience shopping at the store. My mom tried on a few winter coats and asked me what I thought. There was one I really liked, but it was over 11,000 dollars. It was a two-piece design and was classic and yet fashionable. (No we didn't get it.) Fortunately I liked it more than she did.
Prior to this, I had never bothered looking at her clothes because they were just out of my price range.

This one can be Googled, but I've not gotten everything yet.
http://www.pilotguides.com/tv_shows/...o_festival.php
It's a food fight (tomato fight, to be more exact) in Plaza Del Pueblo in Bunol in eastern Spain.
The patron saint is Saint Luis Beltran, but I don't know what the last thing to be filled in is.
