Videos of KC Irish Fest 2009
The initial videos that were uploaded are over on the Reactions to KC Irish Fest 2009 post, but now there are much more available and here is a sampling.
Liam O Maonlai of Hothouse Flowers sings the Our Father in Gaelic during mass. You tend to call it the Lord’s Prayer. In Irish we call it the Ár nAthair.

The Elders video labeled “Turnpike and Gonna Take a Miracle”, whoever posted it to YouTube made a mistake. That’s “Michael’s Ride”, Not “Turnpike”. (The “opening” is also “Michael’s Ride”.
Thanks very much for that Ellen. I’ve amended their labelling now. Generally I tend to go with the original uploader’s description but I also listen to verify. A few of them I had amended - but I had’nt, obviously, picked up on “Michael’s Ride”. Cheers.
