Expect to hear new sounds from Louise's backing group as Mike Thornhill and Colin Killeen set off today to attend The Willie Clancy School of Music in Clare. Truly dedicated to the cause.
Late night radioman Val Joyce reminds us of the Saints of the Day each night on his program.Last night I took a little more interest when he announced that today was the Feastday of Saint Killen. Saint Killian was born in Mullagh County Cavan and was based in Clonmacnois for a time before departing for Germany with eleven others in the seventh century where they settled around Warzburg. After a dispute with a king he was murdered in 688 AD.Killeen has a church dedicated to him in Clonmacnois and the Cathedral in Wartzburg is named Saint Killen.Howzabout that.
