This time I must agree with you Fib. Newry has always in the past had a good name for sessions (for those who are two sentences behind a conversation)traditional music / singing / boozing /(the odd technicolor yawn - BOKE) but this time the truth has to be told. NEWRY .... has never had much going for it in the way of culture! I know that someone is going to attack me over this, BUT, the last time the Fleadh was held there, They closed the place down! It was a disaster! The only people who attended, were drunks who sang 'Horse-lips tracks' or Danny Boy, sorry, I am not trying to stir things up, but I had to sit through 56 verses of Willie McBride (Finton Vallely you picked the right song to tear a-sunder) anyway..Sabine have a great break and if you find yourself in the North, go to Bangor in Co. Down. and look up a little shop in Grey's Hill,callwd 'Geordies', it's a stained-glass making 'kind of a shop'. He is Geordie McAdam, and he plays the fiddle like you have never heard before!! He plays traditional and Blue-grass, he has played in the USA on many's an occasion and would only be too happy to shut up shop to play you a few tunes. I was a stranger and he did for me. Have a nice time,
