“Our performance venues were beautifully selected for their historic and acoustic elements. We performed in four concerts, two of which were shared performances with local musicians. All four of our concerts were warmly received. Because our performances were publicized well in advance, we drew an audience from the native townspeople as well as the USA, including our home state of New Mexico. Our personal highlights included a demonstration of working sheepdogs, impromptu singing at Knockmoy Abbey and in the Glendalough church, and learning and performing some of the traditional Irish music. We had a wonderful guide and bus driver that made our tour even more memorable. Both men sang for our bus several times and were very knowledgeable of Ireland’s history, as well as blarney. All in all, our singing trip to Ireland was unforgettable and we appreciate being so well taken care of.”
