for organising and leading our involvement; and to all singers and listeners
who attended, especially our Scottish visitors, Matt Milne who piped us in

Alistair MacDougall who played so well. 

Our Singer in Residence Ruth Clinton has made contact with Howth National

Finally, to all who rode on The Fiddle Bus – sincere thanks with especial
thanks to Ann Riordan, Liam O’Connor and John Kelly for their organisation;
Beck’s Dowling’s, Séamus Ennis Centre and O’Connell’s of Skryne for hosting us;

and O’Connor’s Coaches, Howth for the bus. It was a wonderful day
and one that we would like to hear from you about
– so any comments on any HSC activities, please let us have your views.
