I've almost stopped writing 2017 as the date, it's time to accept 2018 is here. Céilí by the Lee continues to be the highlight of my, and hopefully your, week. Join us on Monday evening at 19:30 in Crane Lane, as I battle forgetfulness and poor organisation to teach the old Irish style of dancing. Much like the teacher, the dancing is simple - so no experience is necessary. We start with the basic steps each week. It's a great way to experience Irish culture, meet new friends in Cork, and get out of the house on a Monday evening! Our venue is the Crane Lane Theatre, Cork's finest venue for dancing, drinking, food and live music! This is an 18+ event Admission: €5

That concludes blue Monday! Thanks all for coming, I'm going home for a shower. Oíche mhaith xoxo

In case you're finding this Monday more blue than others, here's a picture of a blue sky, and the reminder that the days are getting longer, it won't be long, won't be long till summer comes. That turned into "The boys are back in town" unintentionally. Anyway, there ye go

Kicking off 2018 with a resolution to get the pictures up quickly, here's some from last Monday! If you enjoyed the night, please leave a review on TripAdvisor.

Early in the morning, still a late upload. A selection of pictures featuring confusion, laughter and spinning - the three main ingredients of any céilí. Don't forget to secure my eternal love by leaving a (nice) review on TripAdvisor! https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g186600-d6924829-Reviews-Ceili_by_the_Lee-Cork_County_Cork.html

It's cold and grey and wet outside, which is probably why the Irish developed such a vibrant indoor social scene. Come to Céilí by the Lee on Monday at 19:30 in Crane Lane, and experience it for yourself. Each class begins with the basic steps, so no experience is needed. The people who come are uniquely friendly, so it's a great way to meet new people in Cork - no partner required. Complete your cultural immersion, and join us! Our venue is the one and only Crane Lane Theatre, your one stop shop in Cork for Burlesque, dancing, eating, drinking, live music and the occasional youtube phenom This is an 18+ event Admission: €5

Thanks everyone for braving the grey and cold to join me, the toughest of dances no issue to ye!

Still oh-so-slowly working through the backlog of old pictures from the end of last year. Here's a selection to whet your appetite for tonight!

It was my great intention to clear the backlog of albums from before xmas, but that's now just another paving stone on my road to hell. Anyway! Here's some pictures from last November. The blurring was not a conscious artistic choice, I simply left it on manual focus while automatic shooting

New year, new you, new me, new Céilí by the Lee! The last two, at the very least, look suspiciously like the old versions. Join me in Crane Lane at 19:30 on Monday evening for the first Irish dancing lessons of the year! The format of the evening is timeless, we'll start with the basic steps, making sure everyone is comfortable before moving on to the group dances. Neither partner nor experience is necessary, solo dancers and beginners are as welcome as groups of experts. A great way to meet new people in Cork, experience traditional Irish culture, and get out of the house on a Monday evening! Our venue is the incomparable Crane Lane Theatre, home to Cork's best dance floor, and enough food and drink to refresh the weariest dancer! This is an 18+ event Admission: €5
