When I called into Tig Coili’s in the afternoon to enquire who the musicians would be that night the barman told me “Paul Bradley & Declan Corey”. “Paul is living in Wicklow now” I said, “oh, no he still comes in”. It wasn’t Paul unfortunately , who is one of my favourite musicians, but Declan with Joseph O’Flahery on accordion. A nice surpris was the arrival of Jon Brindley from Lancashire<\/a> who played fiddle and sang beautifully. In fact when the first session broke up it was he and I who kept it lit til the 10:00 session started.<\/p>\n

Also Gerry Mulholland<\/a> would stand on the bench and sing or compose a recitation on the spot. He had the audience enthralled.<\/p>\n

The 10:00 session featured Declan Corey and Ger Clancey on fiddle<\/a>. Great tunes coming fast and furious with loads of modern compositions. Ithought the 7 hour sessions were done after the POK festival, but apparently not.<\/p>\n

Galway is a port city of course so I am including a picture of the docks by night.<\/p>\n
