I know the blind pianist, whose name is Chris, from way back. He's an old friend of mine. He's an excellent musician with a wide repertoire. He could easily have done Irish music for an afternoon, if he'd been asked. Did anyone ask him?

I missed the 'seldom heard' concert, because it was my partner's birthday. If it had been any other day I'd have gone. Still, the Friday Fagan's session was really good. Saturday evening's Fagan's session was also good, if a bit rammed. Wooden spoon to the guy who plonked himself right in the middle. Not only did he not play or sing, but he didn't put his phone on silent. – as we all discovered when his stupid ringtone piped up in the middle of someone's song. Tch.
