Irish Folk Music At The Cutting Edge.



What do you do of a Sunday night?

Watch the telly, read a book, go for a pint, yes! Go for a pint at the Old Fruitmarket and listen to the greatest Irish Folk band on the planet. Solas, headed up by Seamus Egan played a set which was indescribable. They did a version of "A Fond Kiss" which could only be described as, almost spiritual.

The fiddle playing of Winifred Horan was mesmeric. I was glad I didn't take my big digital cameras as the whole gig was so spectacular I would have spent the entire time with my eye glued to the viewfinder.

I hope they come back next year, I'll be first in the queue for tickets.
