Irish Show, 2008

Mary Gail spent some time in Canada this summer, doing some unplanned research into their health-care system. While convalescing, she began work on this year's show. A number of the songs have already been chosen, and a group of hearty and enthusiastic performers met this past Monday, (December 17) to begin work on the show. Here is a list of some of the music chosen for the show:

The Merry Ploughboy (On YouTube)
The Battle-Cry Of Freedom (On YouTube)
MacNamara's Band (Bing Crosby)
My Name is Paddy Leary (Midi link avaliable at the top of this page)
Join the British Army (Brobdingnagian Bards)
The Galway Piper (From Contemplator.com)
God Save Ireland
Glory O, to our Bold Fenian Men (If you have this as a midi file, please send it to me.)
A Place in the Choir (Midi file available on page)
The Kerry Dance (Midi file available on page)
Mame (On YouTube with Angela Lansbury)
Hannigan's Hooley (Email me if you find this file)
Phil the Fluther's Ball

I'll add links (MP3 and .midi) to the pieces as I find them so that you'll be able to hear them.

If you need an ad form, and don't have one, you can get one here.
