Padraig’s Irish Music

We staked out a good table at the “Small Bridge” pub for a night of traditional Irish Music. Padraig had some accompaniment in the form of a guitar player, but for the most part, O’Se (Irish spelling for O’Shea) held down the show on his own. Phil and I filmed a lot of his songs, which I knew from his CD. He announced to the crowd “This one goes out to my old friends who are here with us this evening from Pittsburgh, Pa.” The crowd cheered and he broke into the tune of Bally Desmond.

By 11:30 the Kerry Sets (a form of traditional Irish dancing) developed, and had the whole pub in awe. Everyone had a wonderful time, and poor Padraig was dead tired. It was a fantastic evening.
