An Ceili Mor – Part 1

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!

Cork Street Vendor

Today, Cork play Galway in the All Ireland Hurling Final. Thousands have gone to Dublin to see the game!
Update! Cork Won! Woo! More details about the game at the link above! The Cork team will arrive in the city tomorrow. Should be huge crowds and hopefully I’ll be there to capture a flavour of it!

Borders Chicago: Kirstie Alley

Way back in May Kirstie Alley appeared at Borders to sign her new book. Apparently the week before Sylvestor Stallone was in signing his book and the place was thick with people. Local media were there and Jacinta and I may have appeared on TV. Hey, I kept shooting with my 300mm zoom while the camera man had his camera trained on us so you never know!
