It was another rolicking Irish pre-St. Patrick's Day celebration at McGrath's Irish Pub in Killington. The howling winds didn't hold back the crowd of lilting party goers. T.J., a fan of Trinity perched himself in the middle of the pub, playing the spoons both nights, faithfully to each tune.
Rich Dodson , from Pennsylvania, made a special appearance this weekend and performed with Trinity. An accomplished fiddle player, Rich dazzled the crowed with his one-of-a-kind fiddling.
McGrath's Irish Pub bartender, Owen Murphy, joined Trinity on the Bohdran, along with Rich, on the fiddle, for a rousing rendition of Tell me Ma and Dennis Murphys's Polka; the synchronisity of John Cronin's voice and the instrumentals stunned the crowd.
Rich and John Dodson, father and son, had the rare opportunity to perform together playing various Irish tunes interspersed with unique folky songs.
And, one could not ask for a more appropriate end to the weekend: The Parting Glass sung by Rich Dodson, put a gentle and thought provoking close to a weekend that was imbued with an air of friendship and community.
