Just part of the Irish Contingent set to perform at this year 's In au gu r al SCOTOBER FEST! Since breaking into the Irish music scene in 2013, Craic In The Stone quickly became the hottest band of their genre in Southern California - selling out local venues with their die-hard fans, better known as ?Craic-Heads.?

Now, after more than a year off due to the pandemic ?

Craic is back and happy to be playing live once again!

Janelle?s powerfully expressive voice tells the stories while Chris blends with magical harmonies. Matt?s fiery fiddling brings down the house, alongside Jay?s rocking guitar work. Driving the rhythm is Scott on Bodhran and cajon, with Bill laying down his tasty bass lines.

Their fourth CD, PUB TUNES, features trads, rock covers, and originals, including a tribute to their favorite ale, "It?s Guinness.?

THE FENIANS have been playing the OC for a quarter of a century and have a loyal following among Irish and Celtic Music Fans!

Frequent appearances at Irish Fairs, Pubs and Community Events have made them a well known group in Southern California. Through their music and voices, Terry Casey , Rob Williams, Tardu Yegin , Chris Pierce, and David Weeks-Wynne represent Everyman - sweet and sorrowful; brave and beautiful; angry and amused.

Celt ish Set To Play At Gr eat Par k in Ir vin e The roots of Celtish started in the basement of their church. Its members had sung together for years in their church choir when they stumbled upon their mutual appreciation of playing Traditional Irish music and Celtish was born. Over time, they added Scottish and non-traditional tunes into their repertoire. Their unique Celtic sound and harmonies can also be heard in everything they perform. The best way to describe Celtish would be a traditional Irish pub band with a twist (hence the ?ish?) Celtish has performed at benefits, fundraisers, concerts, private events and naturally, the occasional brewery.

They genuinely enjoy performing together and their only goal is for our audiences to be entertained.

They encourage their audiences to participate, sing along and join us in their Celtish spirit.

I r i sh M u si c: N EW S & REV I EW S A Con cer t Review : You n g Du blin er s at t h e Can yon Clu b in Agou r a Hills

By Tin a Day Boy, things have changed since early 2020. I distinctly remember the day when things changed for me personally, March 12, 2020.That was the day we were told at my day job that we were going work from home for ?a couple of weeks until we flattened the curve.?Yeah, a couple of weeks.I haven?t been back to the office since, which is fine by me.

This year things have been slowly starting to get back to normal with little milestones:First movie in a theatre; first meal inside a restaurant; first baseball game; first concert at the Hollywood Bowl; and, on September 19, 2021, first concert in a club.For me, each of these milestones is met with some trepidation, but each one gets a little easier.

I first saw the Young Dubliners almost 30 years ago when they opened for Black 47 at a show in Santa Monica. Now, usually opening bands are nothing to write home about, but the Young Dubliners definitely caught my attention.Even though I was there to write a concert review of Black 47, I had to put in a couple of paragraphs about the Young Dubliners. There have been many more concerts and venues since then. So, what better way to jump back into the concert milieu than with a familiar friend.

I got there early and just caught the end of Kris Colt & the Black Rose Band.Kris Colt has a beautiful, angelic voice. Her lilting vocals and haunting melodies belied the music that was upcoming.

The next act was Duncan and the Dragonslayers.The first thing that caught my eye when they took the stage was ?Is that an electric Banjo??It was indeed, and never has a banjo sounded less like a banjo. My brief impression of this band was that the musicianship seemed to be there, but the composition and performance needed some polish.It would be interesting to see this trio again in a few years.

Finally, it was time for the band that we had all been waiting for, the Young Dubliners.Looking around at the crowd, I was pleased to see that it had picked up in number, it was quite sparse earlier.The Dubs only started touring again recently, and this was the SoCal debut of their new bass player, Ethan Jones, who has recently taken over for long-time bassist

Brendan Holmes.

The dance floor at the Canyon Club already had some people on it in anticipation of the Dubs taking the stage.They came out and started strong, as they always do, getting the crowd into it right away.The evening?s set was perfectly constructed for a much needed concert following a long pandemic.

The concert felt very much like St. Patrick?s Day in September, a celebration of where we have been over the past 18 months, and a look forward to better days ahead.In fact, although there were some sprinklings of original songs from their many albums, the set was heavily from theirIrish Sessionsalbum. The crowd seemed to be more than happy with the strategy, as the dance floor got more and more packed with each song.

At one point as I looked around, there appeared to be the beginnings of a mosh pit forming to the side, which is nothing too surprising at a Dubs show, but the median age of the crowd appeared to be around 40.I was just hoping that someone didn?t end up breaking a hip.

I think that it is safe to say that the entire experience was much welcomed by those in attendance and also much needed.Thank you Young Dubliners for leading us out of the darkness.

The View from Ireland Af f or dable Hou sin g f or All?

By M au r ice Fit zpat r ick On Sept em ber 2n d, t h e Ir ish gover n m en t lau n ch ed a f ou r billion eu r o per year plan t o su pply on aver age 33,000 h om es ever y year over t h e n ext decade u n der t h e ban n er ?Hou sin g f or All?.

The government claims that the programme will constitute the biggest delivery of affordable homes in the history of the state. In addition, the government will introduce a vacant property tax in 2022 to force the hand of those who are sitting on vacant properties in the midst of a housing crisis. Minister for Housing, Darragh O?Brien, also wrote to Catholic Primate of All Ireland, Eamon Martin, to encourage him to make the church?s extensive portfolio of vacant land and property available to facilitate the government?s plans.

This all amounts to serious and concerted action.

Our politicians are obviously worried about something.

Three years ago, in September 2018, this column wrote that it was a student protest that inspired the occupation of a vacant house in Dublin City Centre in August 2018: ?the occupy movement has since then seized a second house and now a third one in the city? The good news is that rectifying the housing crisis is a doddle: build higher in the cities, instigate government forced purchases of land and mass social housing provisions in city centres (parts of which have had vacant buildings for years) and introduce better tax breaks for young buyers. This would be instituting an Irish version of the New Deal? call itAn Déil Nua?. The government is calling its plan ?Housing for All?, but it amounts to something similar. But will it deliver sufficient housing to alleviate a crisis that has been decades in the making?

Over the past four decades a sharp division in property ownership has emerged in Ireland. As political scientist Aidan Regan has argued: ?In 1987, the middle to top 70-90 percent owned 50 percent of housing wealth. Today, it has declined to 35 percent. Meanwhile, the share of housing wealth going to the top 10 percent has increased from 20 to 32 percent?. Property ownership thus has become an index of political constituencies that have aligned to political parties accordingly.

The very wealthy own an abundance while many

Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Housing, Eoin Ó Broin, has just published a new book on the property crisis,Defects: Living with the Legacy of the Celtic Tiger, in which he details to embarrassing effect the greed of developers (abetted by Fianna Fáil), disregarding home-owners who innocently bought shoddy housing during the Celtic Tiger: ?Families are living in fire-defective and structurally unsound apartments and houses across the state, and homes in Donegal, Mayo and elsewhere are literally crumbling apart as a result of mica and pyrite in defective building blocks?.

In promotional interviews for his book, Ó Broin availed of every chance to hammer the coalition parties in government. That parti prisstance is wholly expectable. It is less acceptable that journalists failed to ask Ó Broin why it is that, if his party so fervidly roots for the ?ordinary people?, it did not vote against the Northern Ireland (Welfare Reform) Bill the Northern Ireland Assembly on November 15th 2015. That legislation imposed welfare cuts in Northern Ireland. In the intervening years, since Sinn Féin espoused economic austerity in the North, the party has seen that the key to power in the South is the unambiguous embrace of affordable housing as its mantra.

and change of government that year) was to have dramatic consequences a generation later when the re-zoning of land became a national bait and switch operation in which Fianna Fáil and big developers procured fortunes and elections. (The electorate cannot claim to have been blameless in the process). Hence the Celtic Tiger and the exorbitant property prices. Ultimately, the bubble burst and the corruption of land re-zoning, whereby landowners were rewarded far beyond anything recommended in the Kenny Report, gave rise to the Mahon Tribunal.

Will the Private Sector be included in future housing in Ireland? Irish Government has big plans!

Given that Sinn Féin has never been in government in the South, the other parties are accountable for the housing mess in a way that Sinn Féin is not. And those parties certainly are answerable for another major obstacle to a more equitable housing system in Ireland: the financialisation of property through the mass purchase of property by tax-incentivised vulture funds,which have been abetted by all the political parties and governments during and since the Celtic Tiger.

Bringing sanity back to the Irish housing system (housing prices have jumped by 99% nationally since 2013) will take time as housing reform is a slow burn. It remains to be seen whether the parties currently in government succeed in enforcing their new policies and whether they survive in government long enough to reap any reward for doing so. They should be in no doubt, however, that housing will be the matter that determines the next election in 2025, if not before.

In 1973, a government inquiry into housing, The Kenny Report, recommended that local housing authorities be granted the right to force the sale of land in suburban areas, and that owners of such land should be compensated according to its agricultural valuation plus 25%.

News Analysis & Commentary

By John McNally

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson Goes Head To Head with Joe Biden Over Brexit, Ireland & Trade British Prime Minister Boris Johnson got an embarrassing dose of reality on his first visit with the new US President.

Johnson's attempts to secure trade deals with the US were dashed by Joe Biden, who cited London's refusal to honor treaty obligations with Ireland.

A letter, promoted by the Ancient Order of Hibernians and signed by 39 Congress members, reinforced Biden's position while the British continue to say Biden doesn't understand the complexity of Brexit.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin, also in the US, said: "Anybody who suggests that President Biden

doesn't get northern Ireland or understand it is wrong.

He understands it very well."

Johnson claims Brexit's Irish Protocol (Irish Sea border) doesn't work because it impedes trade. Unionists, meanwhile, have threatened to collapse the Stormont Government if the Irish Protocol is not rejected.

Unionists were probably going to back out of Stormont after next year 's election anyway when Sinn Fein likely become the largest party making Michelle O'Neill First Minister.

Trade between Northern Ireland and Britain is delayed because of the lack of lorry drivers and infrastructure rather than the Protocol's sea border.

While trade within the island of Ireland is booming, deepening

Northern Ireland's ties with the Irish Republic are making Irish unity that much closer.

Brexit is backfiring as 90 percent of petrol stations in Britain have run dry. It seems that most of the truck drivers in Britain were non-nationals,

and they have all been sent home or left after Brexit. Shut gas stations and empty shelves in many groceries stores were not supposed to be Britain's "new" reality.

British Sky News presenter Ian King said: "England has become a country where the pubs have no beer, farmers don't have anyone to pick their fruit and even if they did there aren't enough lorry drivers to get it to the shops."

A well can be donated with a single donation of $8,000 or ?7000 or by crowd-funding your well with your family, friends, school, church or business. A donation of $4000 or ?3500 will restore a previously abandoned, non-functional well to full and safe functionality. These wells were not drilled by Wells of Life, but rather by the national government or other NGOs, some of them as long as a decade ago .

Firstly get the water on for the pasta. Adding the Salt and bring to the boil.Add the pasta and stir to prevent sticking and cook for 12 minutes and stir occasionally.

While the pasta is cooking bring the 500ml of milk to the boil. In a separate pan melt down the butter add the garlic and cook for a few minutes. Mix in the flour well until a paste has formed.With a whisk gradually add the milk until a sauce has formed add parmesan (To do parmesan shavings get the parmesan and with a potato peeler simply peel the parmesan from the side this is parmesan shavings).

In a separate pan drizzle in a little olive oil and add a knob of butter add mushrooms and season with salt black pepper. Add half of the prosciutto and cook for a few minutes stirring well, add the parmesan cheese sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes. By this stage the pasta should be cooked and strain add to the sauce and mix well, check the seasoning. And serve in heated bowls or plates, add the remaining parmesan on top and Place the remaining prosciutto on top. For a extra finish why not try some chopped flat leaf parsley for extra colour and serve delicious with garlic bread.

?This is the condemnation of English rule, of English-made law, of English government in Ireland, that it dare not rest on the will of the Irish people, but exists in defiance of their will: that it is a rule, derived not from right, but from conquest. I am proud to be a rebel and shall cling to my 'rebellion' with the last drop of my blood.?

A f ew of Roger Casem en t ?s last w or ds at h is t r ial.

Born in Sandycove in 1864 to an Anglo-Irish family, Casement entered the British Foreign Service in 1892 and earned an international humanitarian reputation for exposing the exploitation and abuse of natives in the Congo and Peru. Casement rejected colonialism and imperialism and helped found the Irish Volunteers in 1913.

He traveled to the USA to raise money and then to Germany to obtain weapons for the Easter Rising.

In April 1916, the British captured Casement after trying to smuggle 20,000 German rifles into Ireland near Banna Strand, County Kerry. Sent to London to stand trial, George Bernard Shaw and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fought hard to keep Casement from the gallows.

Shaw said, ?I remain an Irishman, and I am bound to contradict any implication that I can regard as a traitor any Irishman taken in a fight for Irish independence against the British Government.?

And Doyle circulated a petition calling upon Prime Minister Asquith to commute Casement?s sentence from death to life imprisonment. Casement was hanged and buried in an unmarked grave in a London prison. His remains were interred in

Dublin?s Glasnevin Cemetery in 1965. However, he loved the Glens of Antrim, and a new effort is currently underway to reinter his remains as his last wish was to be buried at Murlough Bay on the North Antrim Coast.

Roger Casement was a humanitarian, patriot, gaeilgeoir, and homosexual.
