On the eve of the All Ireland Dublin / Mayo clash, some of the singing was distinctly partisan, with Dicey Riley taking on the Mayo supporters in the other corner.
Poor aul Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
Poor aul Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
It's off each morning to the pop
And then she's in for another little drop
Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
She walks along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air
And then it's down by Summerhill and as the people stare
She says it's nearly half past one
And it's time I had another little one
Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly.
We don't encourage that class of thing at all. At all.

1 August 2013: Arts Week Session with Róisín White
There was a lovely session with Róisín White in Dodds on August 1st.
Róisín led the gathered crowd in an impromtu pre-session session and also sang through a couple of songs with the group, including jogging along to Claudy on the Sour Milk cart.
The scene was set for a very full night of singing with Breege performing the Bean a' Tí role. We were glad to see friends from Sligo and Knockcroghery there as well as visitors from Carrick, Strokestown, Drumkieran and Dublin.
