Patrick's Day in Landau

Hello Brian, Two Kilcullenites met up for St Patricks Day in Landau, Germany. Paul Durney aka Saoirse Mhór played at Louise Brennan’s Irish Pub in Landau on the 17th. Louise is of Brennans of Old Kilcullen fame. Obviously carrying on the tradition.

Amidst the hectic activity we talked of people we both knew at home. Among others, John Brady. Louise, who recently visited home, said John had apparently vouched for my voice as Louise did not know what she was letting herself in for. We hadn't met before.

The night was grand and we agreed to do it again in the near future. We don’t of course have the extended Monday holiday here but, well, you can’t have everything I suppose. I also managed to have a pint, which isn’t always possible in my corner of the woods here in Germany. Saoirse (Paul Durney.)
