Irish night with a touch of Austraiia

Last night was Irish night. I was playing Fields Of Athenry, good Irish song that I haven't played for a while, and a man came up singing it with a big smile on his face. He was with a group of people from Ireland and and others joined in singing. Then I played some more from my Irish repertoire, mostly O'Carolan. They were from the center of Ireland. I didn't catch the name, but they said it was the area that O'Carolan was from.

Well, not long after they left, I was playing Waltzing Mmatilda when two young girls came up singing with big smiles. Of course they were from Austrailia. They said they are here for a year and they promised they would come back and bring all their Aussie buddies to sing so we can record it for YouTube.
