The Ceile Mor was held in Cork City last Saturday in an attempt to break the world record for the largest Irish dancing event ever! The organisers hoped to get over 10,000 partipants, but as it was, they managed 8,371 which was enough to beat the previous record held by the town of Dublin in the USA! Here’s a few pictures from the day. Ryan has plenty more shots too!

Tried getting a picture of the oompa loompa girls (7th pic down) but they hid when they saw the camera (or was that me???). Nice shots.
I got a couple of shots of them afterwards! There were about 6 of them and they were very shy at first! Thankfully they plucked up the courage to pose for a few shots for me which I’ll post later.
Great shots. I found those same girls to be quite camera shy too.. didn’t stick around to try and coax them out of their fear though.
[…] The city was buzzing with people, all of whom filled the Grand Parade and the South Mall. It was definately something to see. Hope you like the pictures and when you’re done looking at these, take a scoot over to view Donncha’s set. […]

[…] The Ceili Mor on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork, last weekend. Last year the Ceili Mor attracted 8,371 people who broke the world record for the largest Irish dancing event! This year was a more modest event but still the people showed up and joined in, slowly at first, but there was a decent crowd out enjoying themselves later! Photos from last year: part 1 and part 2.
