AMAZING site, Conrad. But I agree about the capitals. I think we're all entitled to object on that score.

The site has a lot of stuff about the loyalist tradition, as anyone would expect who's encountered Conrad before. But there's also vastly more info, and dozens more links, about Irish culture here than you'll find on the Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann site, which says a lot, CCE being a huge and affluent organisation dedicated to this cause.

OK there is much comment from the loyalist perspective, but take that with a pinch of salt if the orange flavour gets too strong for your taste. Personally I'm happpy to see the other point of view (and for me it is the other point of view) once in a while.

And sorry Mikey joe, but if Conrad says he didn't write that stuff, I believe him. From what I've seen, he's not the kind who hides his opinions under a bushel. On the other hand I've yet to be persuaded that he's the monster he's made out to be in this caff.
