‘And that’s what we mean when we say that a thing
Is welcome as flowers that bloom in the spring.
Tra la la la la la, la’

‘A ógánaigh óig dá siúlfá an ród liom / Ba deas do lóistín is do leaba luí
Bheadh fliúit is orgán ag seinm ceoil duit / A thógfadh an brón seo go léir ód’ chroí.’

‘There’s coopers there an curers there an buyers, canny chiels
An lassies at the picklin an ithers at the creels
An you’ll wish the fish had been a’ left in the sea
By the time you finish guttin herrin on the Yarmouth quay’.
Due to weather forecast the October session has been unfortunately cancelled, and will be rescheduled at a later date.
‘With shut eyes, we tapped our feet
to ‘The Frightened Policeman’,
‘The Raked Fire’ and the Killanéd Waltz’,
marvelling as a wax cylinder was re-wound …’
