Ceol, Craic agus Ri Ra - On the show this week Tommy & Hector kicked of the celebrations for La 'le Padraig
Tommy reminded us of the true meaning of Saint Patrick's Day as he recited Saint Patrick's Breastplate (the way it should be read!!)
The studio was packed to the rafters as the full Kilfenora Ceili Band joined the lads in the RTE Galway Studio and sure the sound blasting out of the place was only mighty a few reels to start the pre - Saint Patrick's Day celebrations .
John Lynch the leader of the Kilfenora told us stories of the bands history while Garry Shannon gave us an example of the art of 'Lilting'
For more on the Kilfenora Ceili Band you can check out their website
As Tommy said there is nothing more Irish than dancing on the radio - sure they'd try anything on this show.
Brian and Irene Cunningham with musicians Yvonne & Tom members of the fantastic Irish group 'Fuaim Chonamara' joined the lads in studio for some Sean Nos dancing on a half barrel and the half door

Not to be outdone Tommy had a go at the Sean Nos dancing himself
Sure by the end of the show there was some gang in studio .......
