Summary:
This was a fantastic evening and a wonderful way to start our visit to Ireland. Frank led us to several pubs and other public areas over the course of the evening. His discussions and performances made it a very special evening. It was an exciting way to learn more of the history and culture of Ireland. Fortunately I only purchased a glass of beer instead of a pint in each Pub so I never had to rush.
