Ardcarne Garden Cafe - Sunday Session
Jamie Barrier, Pine Hill Haints lead singer, guitar, fiddle and harmonica
I thoroughly enjoyed a session in the Cafe on Sunday afternoon performed by the Pine Hill Haints. I am hoping Cliona and Nessa will have further music sessions at the cafe. Every one so far has been brilliant! The Pine Hill Haints are an American traditional bluegrass/folk/honky tonk/country band from Alabama, though the band members themselves describe their unique southern roots music as “Alabama Ghost Music.”

Boyle GAA - a great win
Boyle GAA wrote: Huge congratulations to Boyle Senior team on their win over Strokestown this evening at Elphin. Boyle 1:11 Strokestown 1:7. At half time it was B. 0:6 Strokestown 0:2. The early spring training obviously told as all the B. players ran their socks off and Strokestown could not stay with the pace. The sight of Purcell and McKenna powering forward down the middle leaving the opposition in their wake was a joy.

The Gaelic Chieftain
I took a set of photos of our N4 Gaelic Chieftain while resisting the temptation to create "Art Photos". Here you will see the Maurice Harron sculpture from different points of view, and one location photo as captured by my Samsung Alpha Smartphone.
