Stopped in Athenry for a visit with John &amp; Mary O&#8217;Connor. There was loads of food &amp; Their daughter, Julianna, &amp; her daughters, Bloween &amp; Murren. We had music by the fire where I played the fiddl and Bloween played the drum (a biscuit tin &amp; a wooden spoon). Then to Renmore which is really touching Galway city to see the Fuller\/ Byrne family. We have a tradition where I teach the children some tunes. This year I taught Daniel &amp; Sarah &#8216;The Wind that Shakes the Barley&#8217; &amp; &#8216;Sally Gardens&#8217;. But in a nice twist Sarah, now 16, taught me a tune; The Boys of Knock.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Saturday night Session at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iwRQOdXQv7M\" target=\"_blank\">Tig Coili&#8217;s<\/a> (the link is not my session but you get the feel). Connor\u00a0 on box, his wife Maureen on fiddle (the have 8 mo. old twin boys!) Jakub on guitar and Barry Brady on box. The tunes were flying and the place was packed. My Chicago Blackhawks jersey also got a lot of attention. Wearing a hockey jersey is a great way to meet Canadians, we always take the bait. I was a bit disappointed when they played the Buck at 12:10 and they were done. But then an English lad sat down and open up his fiddle and then <a href=\"http:\/\/tradconnect.com\/profiles\/blogs\/alan-kelly-gang-2013-tour-news\" target=\"_blank\">Maureen Browne<\/a> sat down and grabbed a fiddle. &#8220;I know Edmonton&#8221; she says, &#8221; I played there last summer with the <a href=\"http:\/\/alankellygang.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alan Kelly Gang<\/a> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edmontonfolkfest.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Edmonton Folk Music Festival<\/a>.&#8221; so we had loads more music, hooray!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Left Roscommon &amp; headed towards Galway.
