Things are looking good. The library has 60 chairs and I have around 55 reservations so far. Hopefully I will need to brings a few of my own folding chairs :-)

It will be a wonderful concert. June and Michael are the nicest and coolest people as well as stellar musicians!

I'm straight out busy so I'll say bye for now!

The concert was a huge success! June and Michael were brilliant as always! The turn out was great. It was a full house. I even brought a few of my own chairs. Everyone was really happy to hear them play.

I'm also organizing another concert on the 3rd of March 2005: Sliabh Notes!!!!!!! I can't wait for that one!

Gotta get back to work. I head out to Ireland tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing some of you at the Ennis Trad Festival!

Cheers,

Joyce
