Great sesh at the Green Briar on Monday! Here are some highlights.

DeVanney's Goat/Music in the Glen/Boys of Malin

The first set of the tunes of the night, and a nice one! Mike warms us up on the goat and the glen, and leaves us all behind on the Boys of Malin.

England's Motorway

If you ignore my occasional missed fret, this came out pretty nice.

The whole crowd.

The Dark-Eyed Gypsy

Amhránaí: Feargal Ó Béarra

Feargal Ó Béarra was visiting us from Conamara, and gave us this great song. He is off to Washington next week to see the inauguration, but said he would be back in on the 26th. Mark your calendars! This was too good to leave off, despite all the noise.

Deoraí Thír an Fhia/The Silver Spear

The Whole Crowd.

Amhrán Dalta
