Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today is St. Patrick's Day, a day when anyone can be Irish if they want to be!  And what could be more Irish than music and dance (let's be positive here!)?  So, we're going to indulge ourselves with some of both.

We want to share: dancers from the McGahan Lees Irish Dance Academy performing to the reel "Cu Chullain's Despair" (with a little Aer Lingus promo);   a lyrical reel, "The Morning Dew," performed by The Chieftains;  and the stirring "Brennan on the Moor," performed by The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. (The latter is about William "Willie" Brennan, a Robin Hood- type highwayman in the late 18th and early 19th centuries in our ancestral County Cork.) Of Irish descent or not, we wish you a Happy St. Patrick's Day. Erin go Bragh!
