Great night, but I'm partially deaf and slightly bruised and battered this morning. Some videos on Facebook, I ended up on stage with them :o)

Katharine, let us know when and we'll come celebrate with you. :)

Emily, you MUST report back on that concert! I'm just short of buying their t-shirt, but I do love their music.

Yes, they're amazing aren't they Lori? We used to see them every year but for the last few years they either haven't done a UK tour or haven't been local to us. Very much looking forward to it :o)

It sure does! Mine isn't until much later this year, but it's an exciting milestone, so I'll take the happy wishes early. 🙂

You're seeing Dropkick Murphys? Lucky you, Emily! I love them. :)

Definitely fun, Anne. I remember being dangled upside down and getting a "bump" on the head. I wondered why. :)

Paula, I bet they're related in origin. And hey, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day.

Thanks, Katharine! Great seeing you here. :) And happy upcoming blogiversary to you, too! Time flies by, doesn't it?

What a fun post! I hope you had a good time, and happy blogiversary. 🙂 I started my blog in late 2005, I think it was, so I'm looking at a ten-year blogiversary later this year! I can't believe it's been so long!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Lori!

I wonder if "craic" is the origin of Brits saying "cracking good."

As far as I know I have no Irish blood, but may have a few drops from Scotland. But you never know what my AncestryDNA test will show when I get the results in a few weeks!
