  • Christy Dignam of Aslan fame, who first played in Revelles, Killarney in 1983 and has played many times since, returned for a flash mob duet with traditional musician Liam O'Connor on July 24th 2018. The event happened on Plunkett Street as hundreds of tourists and locals were treated to a rare mix of trad and rock. Christy and Liam created a memorable evening for all...

      Hi Paul I am an old Irish guy also.. living the west coast of Ireland.. was taken by your comments.. I was a seafarer for most of my life.. a sea captain. I first visited Australia in 1964 Melbourne when I was a teenager and had a great time there it was the time of the swill hour when the pubs were open for two hours only- no passports needed for seafarers in those days.. young people today have no idea.
      What i wanted to say was you should check out irish hurling.. a great irish sport.. in fact the fastest game in the world played on a green field.. and all by amateurs.. a lot of them like you with your name Brennan coming from that great county Kilkenny.. the home of hurling and the Brennans.
