Last April I attended a Tourism Ireland event in Atlanta. The musical duo Sephira entertained and wowed everyone there. On Tuesday I attended another event and Joyce & Ruth O'Leary were performing again. I met the two lovely girls who are from Monaghan. I was impressed with how sweet and down to earth they are. Plus very generous with their time.
If you get the chance to see them in concert GO! The next best thing is watching a performance or two on YouTube or their own website or getting a CD: http://www.sephira.ie/
Sephira performed last fall here on the west coast of Washington at an old theatre that has been recently renovated, and the new owner is bringing in a wide variety of entertainment. Unfortunately our schedule didn't allow us to go, but we heard good reviews! I think the theatre owner must visit with the owner of our local Irish Pub here in town for ideas when it comes to selecting "Irish" music for his venue. We get spoiled here, since we have live Irish Music in the local Irish Pub almost every Fri and Sat evening year round! By the way, great photo! Dan
