In the next days, I will be presenting an 11-day Irish music and pub tour along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, and it will be mighty! I am presently finalizing details.

My husband is convinced that there is a website called “wiki-paddy-a,” which I use to prove that my beloved homeland, Ireland, has given the world many great things. Like Halloween, for example, or the discovery of America.
