It's Easter again, And we cannot forget Brothers and sisters, And all that was said. So practise your pipes, Stand proud in the wet, For the eyes of the world are upon you. Christy Moore, ‘Smoke and Strong Whiskey” (1991). #Catalpa #Fenian #SpéirGorm #WesternAustralia

I had my very own escort to the civic reception - everyone else objected to the soft weather, and went on ahead by car. Bloody woosies ;-)
I wondered if you might be able to hear me singing along to the Minstral Boy, but you can’t. 😂 🇮🇪
