Second night in Sligo

The second evening’s scheduled concert featuures the boys playing along with Rodney, a master of the concertina. Bronagh steps up to the bodhran for one number.

  
This is joined by a group from a local dancing school.  Lighting won’t allow me to capture the dance, but their regalia is striking. The dancers demonstrated some spectacular footwork, at times accompanied by James, Donnie, and Rodney, but otherwise by a more familiar and rehearsed CD player.

 
The girl at the far right is not part of the dance school, but is the child of Martin, our bus driver.  His family has joined us for a couple of nights, and she is also a dancer and gave us a demonstration.  Martin’s four-year old boy was not to be left out, and shakes one out  in more of a hip-hop style before falling asleep across several chairs in the back row.
