Friday, March 25, 2011:  Mark and Paula attended a Grassroots Concert in Nisswa, Minnesota.

Performing that night was a trio of of traditional Irish musicians known as Chulrua (cool-ROO-ah).

Eamon O'Leary played guitar and did some singing although most music was purely instrumental. 

This Irish music really plays to the heart.

Patrick Ourceau was on fiddle and really got into the feeling of the music.  A real crowd pleaser.

Paddy O'Brien played button accordion. 

The group played to great applause from an audience of about 200.  They even came back after curtain call to play another two songs. 

A fun time was had by all.
