Sounds like a treat--thanks for the heads up, Martin. Lovely playing there on Free Spirit.

I'd like to hear more about the Nyah Festival as well--are there scheduled events, or is it more ad libbed? Based mostly in one town or scattered around the county?

I enjoyed that, Martin -- thanks for the heads up. The "Nyah Orchestra" was great, and the tunes you played with your gang from your CD were very lovely. It's nice to see Jo Marsh's tune, "Phyllis' Birthday" getting some traction -- lovely tune. When you first posted this I listen to last week's show that was archived. They also featured the tune there at a much faster pace and in the key of G. But I loved the way your harper played it -- very nice.

That Nyah Festival sounds amazing -- 3 months long... wow. If I could make a wish it would be to live in Ireland as an independently wealthy man and spend the rest of my days following the festivals around.
