Ignatius (Carrickfergus)

Seen Bridie many many times all over Ireland
including Donegal with Patrick o.Hagan .She was there on opening night of RTE with Dermot o'Brian , there will never be another with that voice or player like Dermot either.Still listen to her I,m from Tyrone so I liked Eileen as well but Bridie was and will always be the true queen of Irish ballads.
God bless her on her 85th coming up soon I,ll be thinking about her she recogined me one time from the stage I'd seen her so often said I was from Carrick on Shannon but lord knows she performed for hundreds of thousands I forgave her for that , I was just another admirer I,ve lived in the USA for years now but often think about attending her shows , great in concert seemed to just glide across the stage.
                      God be with her and her family
