Ireland!

@Fork Lock They will have a great time. Ireland nearest thing to Heaven you can find.

 

.....and the Guinness!

 

Dublin is by no means Ireland, so I trust the party moved on.

It is usually assumed that Island is divided north and south, that is merely a political confection, the real divide is east and west with the Pale to the East being little more than a slice of misplaced Britain at times, however, over towards the Atlantic the Celts took refuge and here lies a much more intrinsic Ireland with Ennis once being considered at the heart of the trad scene.

Alas, over the past 20 years there has been a decline and where a pub would of have a band of amateur talent there is now only some old lad croaking along to a Karaoke. 'Tis a sad spectacle TBH, and while I am sure there are true musicians still out there they are becoming ever harder to find.

I do trust your daughters know where to look for the right company to keep as musicians. I love live music myself, if played well, so I wish them well!

 

No connection with your Daughter or Grand-Daughter obviously but reading your thread regarding Ireland and musicians reminded me of Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzie fame, who apparently said to the audience "are there any girls out there with any Irish in them, or are there any girls that would like a bit more Irish in them"

I don't know the outcome.

 

You do know that haggis is a Scottish delicacy and Ireland is affectionately referred to as the Emerald Isle due to how green it is. Many will say it’s that green because of the high rainfall, but I’ve had more good weather days than bad on my trips over the years.

 

How cool that your daughter and granddaughter got to go to Ireland, @Fork Lock! It sounds like they had a fantastic time. Did their stories and experiences make you want to travel to Ireland, too?
