The spring is definitely here and although the daffodils are a little slow to bloom, St. Patrick's Day was balmy - can you believe that! What happened to the tradition of 'it always rains on (our) parade'?
The singers were in fine fettle after the festivities of the week and kept the songs going well on into the night.
Some of the gang had headed north to the Inish Owen singing weekend and reports came back that they were having a ball. We hope they have some new songs for us from the gathering and that they'll be word and note-perfect by April.
