Happy St. Patrick's Day

Nobody really celebrates this famous Irish holiday over here, some pubs in big city make it an event. Or concert halls, although Monday is not a perfect day for a party when everyone has to be back at work the next day. Some places have their St. Patrick's celebrations either at the weekend before or after the 17th of March.

Luckily a small concert hall about 50 km /30 miles from here had a concert with an Irish Folk band from Berlin last Saturday. The Cobblestones are already quite famous and often have concerts in our area. They always have time for their fans and  know many of them by name. It's nice to be welcomed with a hug when I arrive at one of their concerts.

They play all well known Irish tunes, make jokes and get everyone to drink plenty, by making everyone shout "Sláinte" after almost every song. It's ok to drink water to drive savely home.
