Day 129: Late night with the London lasses!

“You don't stop dancing from growing old, you grow old from stopping to dance”

Last night Violaine and I met up with Genevieve and Christina to go to the Cobblestone on the north side. One of our teachers said it was the best place to hear traditional music, and from what I heard last night, he's right!

The pub itself feels like a bar in Brooklyn, not extremely clean, dark, black lights, and lots of random things hanging on the walls. Also they had some unique drinks, I tried Cashel's cider on tap and it was delicious. I think it's brewed by Guinness.

The London Lasses played last night, they did a mix of traditional reels, jigs, slip jigs, etc. and also sang some really beautiful ballads. The harp player sang two songs in Irish, really great.

The best part? Towards the end of the night, eight of the fiddle player's relatives did a group ceili dance! They were probably in their 60s, and had some great moves! One of the men even had hard shoes!

The London Lasses!

Also I tried a new recipe the other day, red pepper egg-in-a-hole.



Served over wholewheat toast with some melted mild chedder, yum!
