   Go raibh maith agat, Seamus.   
      
   Our music director, Sion Llwyd, loved the songs, in particularly   
   "Ag Criost an Siol" and "Bheir me o". Our Irish members loved "Bratach   
   na hÉireann" naturally :-) Myself, I loved the that last one and "Mo   
   Ghile Mear" because it is yet another version of a song I love to sing   
   in Scots (brings tears to my eyes when I sing it).
