The 2011 Liverpool Irish Festival was launched this week. Fiona McConnell (who I play with in a duet and also as part of Ildanach) and I were invited to perform at the launch. The Liverpool Echo did a spread in the paper and also did a nice video segment for their website, which features the two of us playing and talking about the festival, followed by John Chandler and Jake Roney talking about the programme for this year's festival. You can see the segment at:
