The Best Of The Irish Rovers

A year or so ago, we saw them perform at the Milwaukee Irish Festival; we were drawn to the stage by "Black Velvet Band" - one of Bridget's favorites. We were delighted to discover that it's included on this re-mastered collection of their best songs, including their number-one hit, "The Unicorn." Although purists might protest that this isn't authentic traditional Irish music, for us, it's still great listening pleasure.

The Galway Hooker

This unique vessel, with its distinctive curved lines and bright red sails, originated in the village of Claddagh. During the 19th century, hookers supported a significant fishing industry and also carried goods, livestock and fuel. Seán Rainey is remembered for building the last of the original boats, the Truelight, for Martin Oliver who was to become the last king of the Claddagh; as king, he was entitled to white sails on his boat. Since the mid seventies, many of the old sailing craft which were on the verge of extinction have been lovingly restored and new ones have been built. During the summer months they can be seen at festivals such a Cruinniú na mBád - the Gathering of the Boats - in Kinvara.
