Our eire is up

Welcome to the Irish 2000 Music and Arts Festival in Ballston Spa, NY -- we've got music and photos from contemporary Celtic rock bands Seven Nations and Gaelic Storm. Bagpipes, fiddles, this is where it's at! Photos, commentary at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Song (for Gaelic Storm)

Mandolay lo lyre,
unspoken choruses
go unchanted rather sung
round unearthly fire --
all cast together,
an unbroken spell --
Mandolay lo lay
we'll never tell.
If a bow string falls
mandalay
If a shrill voice quickens
lay lo lay.
If you call me beggar
so much the better
to cherish my welcome
one sweet day
Mandalay...
