terrific, why didn't you introduce yourself, I was looking round all night wondering who it was.
I wish you and a few more acts, Una for example had used the PA - acoustically the room seemed a bit flat. I don't think it would have been right for Liam. the shoe tapping would have started things off probably. The first lady with the gutsy voice though and yourselves - it would have enabled you to relax abit more vocally.

Reel in the Flickering Light was by Colm Gallagher and you're right, it is a beautiful song. I first heard Christy Moore sing it on that arts programme review thing on the telly.
that economy of technique - so few chords and so many pictures and the animated turns of phrase, and the way each animal and the hapless narrator is given a personality with a few brush strokes.

still that's the Irish for you..... words and epic tales!
