I was picked up from the hotel in the evening by one of the Celtic Connections people and brought to Eron Johnson’s Antique Warehouse, where they have a delightful set-up with a great wooden floor for dancing and a stage set up for the musicians.
Initially the dancers were a little thin on the ground but we managed to dance the Seit Doire Cholmcille with a full set. There was a fine crew of musicians, three fiddles, an accordion, bodhrán and bouzouki and guitar.
The guitarist Richard, was a fine singer and obliged us with a couple of songs, including the translation of English Bruach Na Carriage Báine.
The bouzouki player also sang Ellis Island the emigration song. I contributed a couple myself and when we finally wound the session up some of headed for a middle eastern restaurant for something to eat. A most enjoyable experience, with really nice people.

on the California Zephyr heading for Grand Junction
Well I’m back on the California Zephyr and this time heading through the Rockies for Grand Junction.
We spent a lovely afternoon in the city of Denver, including a visit to the State Capital and to the home of The Unsinkable Molly Brown, the woman who survived the Titanic disaster.
I’m really looking forward to this train trip, as it’s supposed to be really spectacular scenery including a 6 mile tunnel in The Rockie Mountains. We’ll talk about the impressions in the next Blog!
