A fine evening was had by all at The Royal Institute, Mayfair, London last night (14th Sept '14) for Stella McCartney's 'Green Carpet Collection' party. A lot of Hollywood A-listers flew in for the show/party.......Paul McCartney dances the Jig like a lad in his 20's!

Have been playing in Whitby at The Dolphin Hotel with Milo Thelwell on fiddle and Tommy Randell on Bodhran. Gig is once a month on the first wednesday-thoroughly enjoying it too. Not happening August though as I'm away and the Whitby Folk festival shall be supplying more than enough musicians. Maybe later in the month. The Landlords, Martin and Liz, love the Uilleann Pipes and Irish music. Great supporters of the tradition. The Festival Interceltique in Lorient is fast approaching once again and am looking forward to meeting up with all the fine Irish musicians who gather each fantastic day and night at the Galway Inn at number18 Rue Belgique. The London Irish shall be there again in force with Mr Brian Kelly on Banjo and a host of speedy brilliance!
Missed the Willie Clancy Festival yet again this year - have to make hay whilst the sun shines!
