Trad Music in Carberry's Pub Across the Sea

Woke up to all the doom and gloom financial news coming from Ireland, but am ending the day with Ceili House, traditional Irish music on RTE 1 Radio.
Each Saturday at 9 p.m. (Irish time), presenter Kieran Hanrahan visits another venue where traditional Irish music is celebrated.
Fiddles and accordions have toes tapping every Tuesday evening at Carberry's Pub (Ti Chairbre) in Drogheda, County Louth, north of Dublin. One fella explained that the tradition began 40 years ago when a few fellas got together to play. Mrs. Carberry thought a music night was a fine idea and it just continued.
Over the radio online it is easy to imagine the coziness of the pub with the damp tweed jackets, the pints of Guinness, the laughter and friends shoulder to shoulder.
A young man, Stuart Carolan, explains that he learned how to sing traditional tunes from his granny. He then sings a capella in such a gorgeous, unselfconscious tenor voice. Several lads sing in unison, "Broken-hearted I will wander...for the loss of my lover" about the "bonny light horseman" who has died and won't be coming home.
What a joy to hear the music and be transported back to Ireland. Sweet dreams.
