Another enjoyable evening at Salem Chapel, with excellent Irish stew from Catherine (we had two bowlfuls) and Jameson's whiskey. There was a chap in a big Guinness hat playing jigs on a transparent green recorder, with enthusiastic percussion accompaniment from the children.
However, by the time we moved into the chapel, the children had got rather over-excited, and had to be taken out.
Rob Soldat told two stories, about Niall of the Nine Hostages, and how St Patrick banished a demon from a pub (to the great happiness of all), Catherine sang, Geoff got rather emotional over Republican songs, and told us about the time he met Seamus Heaney at Windsor Castle, while going to have tea with the Queen! And there was poetry.
