Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,Mike O'Leary-Johns Date: 16 Mar 08 - 10:56 PM Just wish I could "pop" over, George. Good to see and hear you at Inishowen. Hope the first session goes well. All the best Mike. |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: thetwangman Date: 27 Mar 08 - 03:21 PM is there any truth in the rumour that pat burke is providing b&b? |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,George Henderson Date: 28 Mar 08 - 08:46 AM thetwangman Pat will be a valued attendee and will not, I believe, be providing B & B because there is plenty of such like accommodation here in Bray. But we will have a very good night as many people from other circles are going to attend and support. |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: Gulliver Date: 28 Mar 08 - 04:19 PM How often do you plan to meet? What time will you finish up at? Don |

I'm even going to skip one night of Sean Nós Cois Life to be there. O'Farachain says he's going send to a hitman to sort you out, Joyce say's she'll supply the bullets. Fergus |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST Date: 29 Mar 08 - 05:33 PM Unfortunately, there's no room at Pat Burke's Inn that night, but I hope to see as many as possible there for a few songs. I understand we're clashing with Sean nós Cois Life, but if ye come to Bray that Sat ev. you can have 'Amhráin tradisiúnta cois Deargaile'! - Pat 'the Verse' Burke |

We have to try and do our bit to keep the ould tradition going. And sing the songs we have borrowed during our lifetime so that others can carry them on. |

Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,Ron Edwards Date: 17 Apr 08 - 03:37 PM if you want a true Irish Tennor you should call Paddy Kelly from New Court Road |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: MartinRyan Date: 17 Apr 08 - 03:49 PM I wouldn't trust George with an English fiver - never mind an Irish tennor.... |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,Patmike Date: 18 Apr 08 - 09:28 AM Good luck on Saturday night. |

Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,jim mac farland Date: 22 Apr 08 - 12:37 PM sorry about the double guest first time to submit jim |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: MartinRyan Date: 22 Apr 08 - 01:38 PM Now , if you join up, there won't even be a single GUEST! Regards p.s. Will you make it to Miltown from the Far North, this year? |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,jim mac farland Date: 23 Apr 08 - 04:36 PM Hi Martin, I hope to be a GUEST with you again this year at Milltown. Confirm dates later. Regards Jim. |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: MartinRyan Date: 23 Apr 08 - 07:06 PM Looking forward to it - just confirmed the booking. Regards |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,George Henderson Date: 14 May 08 - 06:04 AM Second night will be on Saturday May 17th. Also, Finnegans bus co. will be stopping outside the Strand Hotel in Bray at 1.15am (Sunday 18th) approx. and will be travelling to Dublin Town Centre. Cost is Euro 5.00 single. So those who get the dart out have a method of returning to Town without having to leave early. |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: Gulliver Date: 14 May 08 - 06:37 AM That's great news about the bus. Unfortunately I won't be able to come along on the 17th, as I'm going to Germany on that day, but do hope to attend future sessions. Don |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,Patmike Date: 14 May 08 - 10:08 AM George, I believe the first night was great. Sorry I missed it. Unfortunately I am away this Saturday also, but am looking forward to June already. |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: George Henderson Date: 18 May 08 - 05:58 PM Second night was a great success. every seat taken and people really enjoyed themselves. Next night is 21st June. Martin Ryan. I had forgotten that it was you who told me about the Mary Haran situation in Ennistymon. I did not mean to offend and would have mentioned that you told me had I remembered. George |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: MartinRyan Date: 18 May 08 - 06:47 PM No problem, George - of course! So sad that she had passed away recently - a lovely, gentle and welcoming landlady in a wonderful pub. Regards |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: MartinRyan Date: 19 May 08 - 05:52 PM refresh |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: Seán Báite Date: 20 May 08 - 03:43 AM No disrespect meant to Mary Haran - but can't help noticing that Finnegan now seems to have a Bus as well as his Wake. Whatever next ? Do they run anything to France the same lot ?? |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: MartinRyan Date: 20 May 08 - 04:14 AM .....the trouble with that bus is that it keeps going round in a commodius vicus of recirculation... Regards p.s. But to answer the question - I suspect George would happily get you to France in bad company! |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,George Henderson Date: 20 May 08 - 07:00 AM Sorry - French trip fully booked but I am hoping that this will be an annual. ennistymon transferred to Brittany every Whit weekend. Yes, Martin, terrible bad company going over. Breton Stout is very good and stronger than our local stuff. |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: Seán Báite Date: 21 May 08 - 04:05 AM :-> aisy on the Joyce, Martin - at least until the bus gets to Vico Rd. 'France in bad company' - I've already managed that and am here (or there depending on viewpoint). Just have to wait for the invention of teleportation to manage to get back to Bray on a monthly basis of a friday night, I suppose.... Bad (singing) company in Brittany on the stout - sounds like a good way to spend the Whit - enjoy yerselves... |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,George Henderson Date: 18 Jun 08 - 08:48 AM Back From France and raring to go again. NWSC meets again on Saturday 21st June in the Strand Hotel, Seafront, Bray at 9.30pm. We had a great night in May and we are looking forward to another great night on Saturday. Your support will be much appreciated. |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: Gulliver Date: 18 Jun 08 - 06:03 PM Is there a bus back to Dublin? |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,George Henderosn Date: 19 Jun 08 - 07:06 AM Yes, bus leaves the Strand at 1.45am. We have a number of intending passengers for it this Saturday. All we have to do is telephone them and tell them there are pssengers (1 or more) and they will ensure that the bus stops outside the Strand Hotel. Look forward to seeing you and hearing more of your songs Gulliver |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: Gulliver Date: 19 Jun 08 - 09:01 AM Grand! C U |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: Gulliver Date: 25 Jun 08 - 09:01 AM That was a great night! Many thanks to all! Don |

Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,George Henderson Date: 15 Jul 08 - 09:36 AM North Wicklow Singers Circle meets on Saturday 19th July in the Strand Hotel, Seafront, Bray. If people wish they can rehearse their sea shanties for the Howth Singers Circle shanty day in Howth on 20th. All singers and listeners will be made welcome. |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,DD Date: 15 Jul 08 - 10:33 AM That's right south of Dublin on Strand Road, right? Are you also meeting in August? Thanks very much. |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: Fergie Date: 15 Jul 08 - 08:09 PM Hi George I'll be there, I wouldn't miss it. I believe that Pat has volunteered to put us Dubs up and to feed us a good fry on Sunday morning so that we're in good fettle for the shanty session in Howth on Sunday morning. Tell Pat that I like my rashers well done and my eggs sunnyside up. Ferg |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,George Henderson Date: 12 Aug 08 - 07:52 AM Reminder. August 16th is the third Saturday in August and North Wicklow Singers circle meets once again in the Strand Hotel, Seafront, Bray at 9.30pm. See you all there George |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: GUEST,Edinburgh Lassie Date: 12 Aug 08 - 08:41 AM On a not-unrelated topic, and rather than starting a new thread, can I just ask here when the Knockroghery Singing Festival (Roscommon) happens this year? Is it the Bank Holiday at the end of October, as before, and which weekend would that be? Thanks to anyone who knows, DCMVD. |
Subject: RE: North Wicklow Singers Circle From: MartinRyan Date: 12 Aug 08 - 08:57 AM It's the Bank Holiday alright. I don't have the programme to hand at the moment but know that it includes talks by John Moulden, Jim Caroll and, I think, Chris Miles. An award to Sean Garvey and the usual mix of sessions. If they put up a site, I'll post a link on Mudcat. Regards |
