Well Big Mick you really lost out not being here in Carrick. Yes hugs, kisses and pints all round - Alison and Mark turned up and jumped straight in. Alison on the music Mark on the pints :-)) Alison is great on the flute and whistle, harmonising with others, lifting the music and simply doing her own thing and having fun. Everyone here said they want her back the following week. I'm hoping she can make the 20th back in Carrick.

If you ever get the chance to meet Alison and Mark in the flesh take it - they are a lovely couple - not what you hear about people from Oz :-))

I also got to meet Annraoi who also played guitar and sang - he just lives down the road from me and hopefully he will be back to Carrick in the future.

Alison and Mark thanks for your company your welcome anytime, it was a pleasure.

Mike
