There was a great session at Vicar St last night with the Dubliners taking to the stage. They were also joined by guest artists such as Damo Dempsey and Glen Hansard.
Barney McKenna was in great form with his sea shanty ‘South Australia’ and John Sheehan’s self composed ‘St Patrick’s Cathedral’ had all the ingredients of that historic place in the tune.
Thanks to all the staff who were very helpful. We met a old friend of the club ‘The Chief’ there and he was talking about a good Cabra man who passed away a few weeks ago and was a great musician from Dingle Road, Alan Tunder. Ar Deis De go raibh a anam uasal.
One o’clock in Cabra, all the houses are preparing the dinner for the families and friends who are together on this festive day. The roads and streets are still full of snow but like always we get on with it and make the best of our lot.
To all our supporters, friends and members who are all over the globe, Nollaig Shona Duit from the Barrs in Cabra.
