It was a good night. A good week (and it's not over yet)

Thanks Peter. Wonderful photos. Next best thing to being there.

Thank you for the pictures.
It seemed like a great event.

And that's about half the players that were on, on the night

Always fun to see Billy Clifford in action, one of the more under-rated fluters IMO. Love listening to the recordings he's made (despite some very of-their-time recording/arranging choices).

But who's the fella playing with Molloy? Looks like some kind of James Bond-esque international man of mystery...

And kudos to the fashionistas who matched their attire to the mike covers...

And kudos also to the photographer.

Nice to see Marian Curtin in the mix. Her album, with fiddler Therese McInerney, "The Youth that Belonged to Miltown" has stayed in regular circulation since I got it.

Best wishes.

It's Micheal Flatley, I reckon. Lord of the dance, river dance, etc.

No, that's Victor Blackley, a former spy who must have been hauled out of retirement for one last gig.

Nice photos!
