The High Kings

On March 4, 2011 my family and two friends embarked on at six hour journey to Cincinnati Ohio so see Irish Balladeers, The High Kings!!

 

                                             Finbarr Clancy    Brian Dunphy     Darren Holden     Martin Furey                                              

Though our excitement had been building, the trip seemed to go faster then we expected thanks to the company of close friends and grand music.

Before we knew it, we had checked into our hotel, had a lovely dinner out at Ruby Tuesday and had arrived at the concert hall. 

We took some time before the show to commemorate the evening with some pictures.
