THE RAMBLINGS OF A 21 YEAR OLD IRISH GIRL CALLED MOLLIE... I HATE APPLE PIE.
JUST B-E-E YOURSELF...

IRISH. TEA. CHOCOLATE. BOOKS. MUSIC. PARTYING. ART. MY VIOLIN.

I set this up this blog mainly to have a place to ramble and muse. So, have a look around, follow me if you want, I mostly follow back! And I promise to keep you in the loop with my, ahem, interesting life.

If you want to know more, feel free to ask away! Or check out my 'About Me' page.

Oh, and above is a picture of me. Just incase you thought I was an old tea-drinking woman who sits at home with a dozen cats. I’m swear I’m not. Yet.

Riverdance Finale!

Love this, it never gets old! <3 

9 YEAR OLD Mairead Hicky from Cork, Ireland playing Irish fiddle. She’s so talented for 9 years old it literally makes me want to cry. It’s unbelievable every time. Wait until at least 1.31 because your mind will be blown. 

The Delorentos- ‘S.E.C.R.E.T’

The Delorentos are a Dublin-based alternative rock band. If you like good music, take a listen to this catchy little number, these guys are amazing! 

Have a listen, I promise you wont regret it :) 

Arty McGlynn, Nollaig Casey & Christy Moore

Tune: Cottage in the Grove. 

Incase anyone is wondering this is a very traditional Irish sound- if you came to Ireland and sat in on a trad session in a pub it would sound something like this. The choice of tunes and tonality are both very traditionally Irish. One of my fav tracks out there :) Take a listen, enjoy! 

The fantastic Matt Molloy & The Cheiftains. 

Tune- ‘The Mason’s Apron’

Listen to at least 1.10 this is where you will have an eargasam because the Matt Molloy is a GOD with the flute. This blows my mind every time. His talent is incomprehensible. There’s no backing tracks, no autotune, just pure talent and musical prowess. 

Mad for Trad <3 

The Coronas singing ‘Far From Here.’ Incase ye don’t know about The Coronas they’re an Irish rock/indie band check them out if you haven’t already :) 

Dear, Irish dancers on tumblr…..YOU ALL NEED TO WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW!!! I promise it will be the most amazing Irish dancing you’ll ever see. The two guys are world champion dancers and have formed a group called TapTronic, please, please watch and share! I’m so proud to be Irish! It’s so fantastic to see two guys doing something they love and are obviously passionate about. It’s so inspiring and innovative!! 

I just can’t fathom how their feet move that fast….afjkjfkjajk…it hurts my brain. They’re so talented….!!!!! I’m in love.  

Irish dancing is a sport. The dancers work so incredibly hard to master these beautiful leaps and steps. Watch these leaps in slow motion it’s amazing!!

So I was in starbucks today and ordered a coffee…I glanced at the items they were selling on the counter and guess what was there…THE CHEIFTANS’ NEW ALBUM!! I was so excited and rambled on to the guy behind the counter about how much I loved them and how long I’ve been waiting for it to come out and I ran out of the shop clutching my CD…then he called me back and informed me I had forgotten my coffee in the excitement! Ha! Now I’m off to go listen to my new CD yay!!! :D
