ReplyDeleteYAY!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a day set aside just to enjoy live music
ReplyDeleteAs always a great post- I'm getting to know more of my Irish roots (and my husband's new found Irish roots) via your blog and the music you talk about.
ReplyDeleteThanks also for the link- loved it!!
I always love your performance photos. You capture the moment so nicely, making me feel as if I can almost hear the music :)
