Tickets will be limited and are selling like hot cakes for the upcoming celebration of Irish music and culture coming to Ashbourne on the 12th November. The brain child of Gerry Browne and Mick O’Brien who have collaborated to create the Podcasts under the tutelage ” The Two Auld Folkers”. In recent months they have produced a series, the idea is to give a better profile of Irish music and culture to open it up to everyone who has an interest everywhere.

The response has been just incredible and the easy going men are building a reputation that is catching the mood of the people with a love for” the music of the people”. Chats with Mick McLoughlin who busks on Henry Street is famous on the street will open your eyes to reality as he regales his life experiences but also his love for busking in his beloved Dublin and the characters he meets and the good and life he brings to the locality.

They pull no punches with genuine reflection of the past and today. The social indiscretion of drink and alcohol that have destroyed people’s lives. and continue to do so. Watch the podcast and you’ll get the feel and the honesty of Mick and his story about Archie, it is well worth watching them. Back to the Ashbourne, tickets are limited to 100 so if you want to be there on the night starting on Thursday 12 th Nov at 7.30pm. You can also catch it on the Live Podcast on the night wherever you are.
