Ha! ~ blind am I? I tried to stop it when I realized what my eyes had done, moved letters around and seen a non-existent 'n'... Anyway, coming to my senses, if just a little ~
"Ceibhe" means 'hair' or 'tress'
"Barr" is 'top' or 'surface', I think, but there are much better folk about for making a decent translation of this. Anything I've come up with just hasn't the flow or music of "Barr na Ceibhe"...
Even "Kevin's Bar" sounds better than "The Surface of Hair"...
