Eily’s Report – 25th July
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to my weekly Report.
God helps those who help themselves and it certainly proved to be true when Sean Murphy once again braved the elements and went ahead with the Declan Nerney Concert in the lovely village of Carriganima on Sunday night. Nora Tarrant and myself had the honour of conveying the popular Star from Mary O’Sullivan’s parlour across the road to his magnificent band stand inside a huge marquee. In his opening cupla focail, Declan said that he was in awe of the venue and in Sean and his helpers. At 3 o’clock that evening he said, with the rain pouring down there was little hope of going ahead with his show under the skies but when he returned a little after 6 he found a huge marquee in place which covered the entire dancing area from side to side. Once again the spirit of rural Carriganima came into play as the rain continued to fall. They pressed ahead as the people slowly started to arrive and by 8 o’clock the rains had stopped as we marched the great Declan Nerney onto his stage, secure in the knowledge that the show could go on. The irony of it was that the marquee wasn’t even needed because there was no rain for the rest of the night. The new boy in town Pat Mulcrone entertained the crowds in the bar from early on so a great time was had by all and the crowd was even bigger than last time. Well done to all. Buíochas le Dia.
