Paul and 'Fleadh' hit the top

Remember last week when we reported that Germany-based Kilcullenite Paul Durney and the band he plays with, 'Fleadh', had been nominated for a prestigious award by the German Musicians Union?

Well, the even better news is that they came top of their category. There's no money in it, but it is a recognition by their peers of their place in the very busy Irish and folk music scene in Germany.

Your editor has an extensive piece about Paul and 'Fleadh' on the Kilcullen Page in this week's Kildare Nationalist.
