Day 4 - the Liam O'Connor show

I picked up an Irish cold on night 3 (felt it come on while watching the Celtic Whisper at the Danny Mann pub) & by Thursday I practically had no voice and a bit of a cotton-brain -- which explains why I totally forgot to blog about seeing Liam O'Connor's show that night.

Liam was the accordianist for "Lord of the Dance" and also is in the Guiness Book of World Records as the "fastest fingers in the world."  We got tickets to see him perform at another hotel in Killarney & it was sooooooo worth it!  He is an amazing musician (as was Seamus, his keyboard / sax / flute / bodhrain player) .  His children performed (sons on the bodhrain & daughter step-dancing) as well as his wife who has the most amazingly clear voice I have ever heard.  He was also accompanied by 3 step-dancers who clearly love what they do.

 And, not least of all, apparently the team from County Cork won the All Ireland cup & were there to share the evening.  Clearly, Liam is a Cork supporter and had the team up on the stage to do a bit of singing & dancing with him.
