I missed seeing when this excellent video was posted by Tommy English about the 75th anniversary last year. Enjoy seeing the highlights of the anniversary celebrations.
Rain was predicted but apart from a few drops, the day has turned out to be better than predicted. There is still the second half of the parade west through the village to go.
In 2021, there was no parade due to the circumstances in the world. However, the members of Dooagh Pipe Band on Achill Island played from their own houses all around the country and submitted their videos where members of the band put this video together.
The pipes did sound on St. Patrick’s Day in Achill in 2020. Here’s my Dad, brother and niece playing at acceptable social distance levels to mark the day.
