St. Patrick's Day!

Beannachtaí na Feile Pádraig libh go léir!

We were woken up this morning with some music from the Inishturkbeg's Brilliant Irish Flute series of enlightened cover versions - first there was Muse's Uprising, then some Kings of Leon "Sex on Fire" (below)



So, you mightn't like "trad" but projects like this bring Irish instruments together with popular modern music and fuse them together in a great way! More of this please!

The weather is gorgeous today. Coffee and pancakes up first, then there's a parade due locally this afternoon, which might well be of interest.

Anyone curious about parades in Kildare, check the Leinster Leader website for a comprehensive list.

Happy St Patrick's Day to one and all. Come and visit Ireland this year, it's going to be a good one!
