Gasun Photography : Trim : Meath : Ireland

It all started over a few pints of Guinness in McSorleys Pub in Dublin. Now with their musical director, David Wray, The Three Irish Tenors (Kenneth O’ Regan, Ciaran Nagle & Domnic McGorian) have created programs of their favorite songs and arias, not only from Ireland but also from a truly international repertoire. Since their first performance this talented and exciting trio has performed to delighted, packed houses throughout Ireland, the United Kingdom, Asia and the United States of America. On January, 23rd, 2010, they played a sell-out show at the beautiful Trim Castle Hotel, Trim, Co. Meath with violinist Tara Novak. Some photographs from the show below.

Now that he is officially recognized in the Guinness Book of Records for his non-stop 36 hours and 15 minutes performance at Nuns Island on Good Friday 2009, the edgy and dangerous Meath comedian Tommy Tiernan entertained the Trim Ladies Circle (120 ladies approx.) raising €11′800 for Trim Arch Club at Trim Castle Hotel on Saturday, April 25th, 2009. Hi Tommy, I’m Enda Casey and I’m here to take some photographs just as Tommy was whisked away by the passing ladies who gaily commented on how well he looked in his jeans and jacket and fondled his cuddly beard all the way to the small stage! Nice to meet you Tommy I said but I don’t think he heard me and I had my nice T-shirt on as well; must have been the beard that did it I thought! A quick test for for echo before Tommy steped gingerly into the realm of Simonstown Disco, The Angelus, Family History, Romping (from the ladies perspective played out in real time for good measure and effect - he could have gone on forever you know) and a bit of religion thrown in for good measure. Tommy will always be close to the bone, but it’s easy to see how he achieved his marathon record with such an elaborate CV of free-flowing material. Even though I only met Tommy for a second, I knew he saw the potential in me; he didnt need to say a word so I’m going to download that application form for The Angelus which, by the way we should hold onto! Now here is an alternative view on The Angelus propably like the way Tommy might see it … Indeed one lady in the audience who features in The Angelus 2009 gave as good as she got. When Tommy had the ladies nicely warmed up (did I say this was a double bill?), Trim Singer-Songwriter Gerry Tully took to the stage and charmed the ladies with songs from his aclaimed debut album “Leaves Float Down” (a line taken from his title track, Mrs. Mosley) and some carefully selected covers to suit the occasion. Dancing downstairs in the Hotel Bar was seen to go on to the early hours … What an afternoon and evening …. More Bovinity & Gerry Tully please!
