Testimonial.
Sima Miska, Florida, U.S
"Dearbhaill, a wonderful storyteller, recited a poem in Gaelic and she taught us steps to a typical Irish folk dance. Such Fun! It is a 'must see' if you are interested in experiencing a unique way of learning about the culture, history and archaeology of this beautiful and fascinating island."
* Oíche Airneáin - means "a night's visiting or a social evening" - in the Gaelic language.
