Anyone else see the senior button box comp in tullamore? Any thoughts on it? I thought it was a strong competition but ive definetly seen it stronger. Personally i had vanessa millar as the winner myself but fair play to padraic maconrai as he's a top box player and has been knocking on the door for a while now. Also, there was only 10 players this year - theres usually about 14 or so. Overall, i enjoyed the competition and was definetly entertained. Any views?
Yeh it was a great competition. There was no American competitors this year and last years winner did not compete hence only 10. I thought there were 5 who were very strong, Venessa Miller was very good, maybe the adjudicators couldnt stomach another slow air buy the time she got to the stage! Both recall reels were brilliant!
I've been going to that competition for the last then years, and i'd safely say this years was the best. And further to that anyone in the top 3 places this year would have won it hands down in any of those last ten competitions (thats on this years performace. I do realise that some of them have competed in previous years)
I was at the senior box competition and was delighted that Vanessa Millar did so well. She is a brilliant musician and really lives for the music. She is also a great singer and she will do very well in the future.
Congratulations to all who competed and thanks for a great aternoon of music.

Played (music) with Vanessa at the Willie week. Excellent player.
Also played with a young lad in Mayo last week who was exceptional.
