On Sunday 15th June I had the honour and indeed pure delight to perform at Áras an Uachtaráin when the President hosted a Bloomsday Garden Party. I was set up at the door to the Walled Garden and the most magical musical improvisations occurred. So wide was my smile that my face nearly cracked entirely when Liam Ó Maonlaí joined in and brought the music to a whole other place. I am still feeling the good of it. 
So good was the time I had that I have decided to include this show in my touring repertoire under the title “emporium of everyday magic”
I also had the privilege of reading a Louis de Paor poem and you can read about it on the link below
