Part one of the "A Gaelic Christmas" concert, featuring Mary McLaughlin and "Cór Ainglí," is on line now at http://www.communitytv.org/ . The second part will be on line next week.

Can you spot the Redwolf in the picture? I'm in the second row, and I have long red hair. I'm also in the small ensemble.

Most of the songs are in Irish.

Enjoy!
