Kilkenny hurling fan since ‘the cradle’. ‘Hooked’ on opera, ballet and Irish trad music. Radio every time, TV seldom.

@TaraErraught @staatsoperHH Dear Tara, Dear Angela, thank you both for again bringing us your wonderful clips of the 12 Days of Christmas 2024. This minute or so, each day leading to Christmas Day adds to the joy of the season for me.

@TaraErraught @angela_brower Thank you both, nice to hear you again.

@sportsdes Des, thank you for you Olympic coverage. You are my 'go-to' analyst/commentator among our many excellent journalists. I, too, hate 'counting chickens'. Thanks for not letting us get ahead of ourselves.

@NedzerB13 Eddie you are right, this doesn't come easy but fair play to those Tipp young lads they were mighty.

@MuireannNic @ICOrchestra @KilkennyArts @ForasnaGaeilge @cormagiomusic @doconnormusic An exceptional show Muireann, Míle Buíochas. Buíochas to the Irish Chamber Orchestra to Catríona, Aisling, Darragh, Dónal and Cormac. Like many on stage and around me I was ‘holding it together’ until An Chúilfionn, then the magic and emotion of a very special night swamped me.

@TaraErraught @Whelanpp @IrishBaroque @KilkennyArts @LinnRecords Thank you Tara and the Irish Baroque Orchestra for a wonderful concert in St Canice’s Cathedral. A very special evening in my ‘home town’, in a ‘mysterious place’ so framed, as I grew up, by an Ireland thankfully long gone. May the mystery and magic of your voice forever remain.

@CelineSoprano I never met this wonderful woman nor do I know any of her family but know that you and Tara and so many others were beloved members of her opera/singing family. My condolences on your great loss.
