Jack L and Bernadine Casserly in King House
The Jack L concert in King House last night is one I won't forget easily. Before the show I had read "The Main Salon will once again be filled with Jack’s velvety tones as he performs songs, new and old. Jack Lukeman (Jack L), is an artist with dramatic vocals, Show-goers will be treated to a display of music, song, humor and an enthusiasm for his art that is infectious. He makes song interpretation look easy as he moves between genres effortlessly and has his audience in the palm of his hand." ... I couldn't agree more! Comments I heard afterwards included words like Sinister, Scary, Amazing voice, Hypnotic, Brilliant Singer and Stage Performer.
Jack's show was preceded by Bernadine Casserly who is singing better than ever and preformed a beautiful set of her favourites. View photos from the dimly lit venue[here...]

Frank Feighan TD - Tribute to Albert Reynolds
The Chairman of the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, Frank Feighan TD, has this morning offered his condolences to the family and friends of Albert Reynolds, who died this morning.
Deputy Feighan TD: "Albert Reynolds achieved much in business and politics in an extraordinary life, but it is his role in securing peace on our island that will be his most enduring legacy.
During his tenure as Taoiseach, Mr Reynolds made an indelible contribution to the peace process. An accomplished negotiator, he displayed great courage, skill and single-mindedness in keeping the channels of communications open with republicans and loyalists during a turbulent period. His strong partnership with then British Prime Minister John Major led to the signing of the landmark Downing Street Declaration, which would pave the way for the Good Friday and St Andrew’s Agreements.
On behalf of the Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, and on my own behalf, I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Albert Reynolds."
