CASHEL MY HOMETOWN

"Cashel, My Hometown" was recorded at the Cashel Palace Hotel pub, Cashel, Co Tipperary, Ireland, on 11 September 2010. The core of this video was hastily filmed on a cellphone by Maggie Tolderlund of Buenos Aires, Argentina, translator and publisher (with her husband, Damián Boveda) of the multi-million selling Sister Fidelma Mysteries, authored by Peter Tremayne (Peter Berresford Ellis) - http://www.sisterfidelma.com, during the biannual Féile Fidelma, held in Fidelma's "hometown" of Cashel.

Denis Heffernan - who was born, raised, and has lived his entire life to date in Cashel - is the vocalist and bartender at this small but charming pub in the basement of the hotel. He is a master of storytelling, able to relay in extensive detail every luminary who has ever visited Cashel, and by default had a pint at the pub.

If you ever go to Cashel - and you should - you must stop by the pub, ask about the horse track painting on the wall, inquire about the brass knob in the slate floor (hint - it's where Guinness was actually born), and get him to tell you about any of the hundreds of names on the walls (since he's met every single one of them, even if the math works out to his being 2 years old at the time). And ask him if he knows any songs - you'll essentially be winding him up for a full night of well-known, and lesser-known, Irish classics. And be sure to ask specifically for "Cashel My Hometown."
