A little "trad" in Galway

There was a party every night in Galway due to the festival and summer season. The Galway Races start next week and I'm disappointed that we'll miss it...apparently a big formal deal like the Kentucky Derby...hats required!!
The photo that follows includes a fellow playing the Uillean pipes an original Irish instrument.




I wish I had a better photo of the young man that "danced the broom". His foot work was phenomenal! These dancers and musicians were all recent grads of Galway University and just stayed on for the summer to work in the pub. The "older fellow" that jammed with them on the video had traveled around the world with a trad group to NYC and Chicago. We sat with the musicians and wife. "Twas brilliant" as they say!
