Kilcar Fleadh/Ceardlanna Ceoil Agus Damhsa Music and Dance

This is a week of traditional Irish music and dance in Kilcar. Our lovely home here is walking distance from town. Last night there was a band and dancing in the street! After that ended around 11 pm, the band and other musicians moved to the pubs and had a jam session that lasted until the wee hours. As they say here, it was brilliant! There were numerous multi-talented musicians playing fiddle, accordian, guitar and other instruments. I lasted until about 12:30. Kira has joined us and has her friend Jenny visiting (she is working on a farm in Bantry which is quite far from here in the southern part of Ireland, Country Cork.) I worked on editing my collection in the morning and spent the afternoon and evening taking in the beautiful environment here. It is a friendly town--and the small library allows us to take out books which makes us all very happy.
