May I tell you all what a pleasure it was to have our own KathWestra at a performance of The Conklin Ceíli Band on Saturday night? Kath showed up with her Da, Johan, who was an absolute joy. I picked on him a bit about the Calvinists, and he returned the joust in the good humour in which it was intended. I really enjoyed him. Kath's brother and sister-in-law were also there and they were lovely people. All in all, I enjoyed their presence a great deal, even though 60% of the band, meself included, were suffering from sore throat/flu symptoms. But a rollicking time was had by all in this legendary little pub.

Karen K and Mary Lamarca, the hugs were delivered in fine fashion and greatfully received as well. I wish the whole bunch of you could have been there. How about a Mudcat caravan around the country this summer? One stop would have to be The Fenians Irish Pub in Conklin though. LOL
