EADESTOWN FIELD DAY A great day out was to be had at Eadestown Field Day in Punchestown. A gang of us (see above) went along to provide the musical ambience among the dog shows and spinning wheels. One shower drove us into the bric-a-brac tent, but mostly we were able to play in the open air. Definitely something we'll repeat and develop in years to come.




NEWBRIDGE As Mary has already reported, the concert in Newbridge was a great success. If anyone has pictures would they please send them to me?
