A trad group from Melbourne who sang 'Teigh Abhaile Ariú' among their English language repertoire. Three ladies and a gent and a nice sound, with a little bit of dance thrown in.I went to them twice and the second time they sang more songs in Irish and did a lot more dance. I was beginning to feel like a groupie. I went up to them afterwards to speak to them 'as Gaeilge' and found out that only one was from Ireland and she was from Celbridge. When I asked her where she got her lovely Donegal Irish it turned out that she had gone to the Gaeltacht there organised by Raymond King! I showed her The Tommy K Dance for later.
