There are concerts and there are good concerts, and then there is the superlative – a Danny O’Flaherty Concert. The lovely Lisa, my niece and now fiancee of Danny’s, arranged to have him give a performance at St. Bon’s to raise funds for the basketball team – her son plays on the team.
And, what a performance – from wonderful Celtic ballads to children’s songs, from Mummers to the St. Pat’s Dancers, from greetings from the mayor of New Orleans to greetings from mayor of St. John’s. This concert had it all as it performed to a sold out audience who sang and clapped and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of entertainment.
Never ones to miss out on an opportunity to help out the community, our Clifford George donated sketches and Mary O’Brien donated a Waterford crystal to raise additional funds. It was wonderful! Then we went to dinner with some friends and had a few scuffs at Bridie’s – all in all a great way to wind down the Christmas season.
