The four of us, (it was us and our good friends who live near Dublin) started our Sunday at City Barbeque. Truly delicious barbeque which I believe is regional in the mid-Ohio area. They also have sodas called NEHI. If you ever watched “M*A*S*H” , Radar O’Reily always drank Grape NEHI. I had orange. (I hate grape.) Dennis and I got a combo “sampler” plattar with 3 so-called mini sandwiches. Each one had about 1/4# of meat on it!! We didn’t eat all the bread. The meats were: beef brisket, pulled pork, and turkey. Yum!
Then it was off to the Irish Fest.
Walked around looking at the vendor’s items and bought a couple of odd bits. Most of the souvenir vendors were Irish and it was fun just listening to them speak. But, we were there for the music.
Gaelic Storm was the first group we saw and definitely the most fun. They had a packed house (tent) and had everybody on their feet. Really fun.
Bad Haggis could win any contest for “best name.” Their self titled song was a real treat.
Brother is now down to 3 band members but can still rock the house. They were last on the billing and had a disappointing audience turn out. They were fantastic but the energy was diminished by the slim crowd. The didgeridoo player played the keyboard at the same time. Impressive. The lead singer also played guitar and bagpipe with equal skill.
We had a brilliant time and got home very late because Dublin is nearly 3 hours from home. It was well worth our time and we had an awesome weekend. Good food. Good friends. Good music. What more could we ask?

We have City BBQ here. I had it once and honestly wasn't impressed!
The Irish Fest sounds like fun! That's the weirdest didgeridoo I've ever seen!
