Another of Piet Snellen's lovely pics from De Fookhook, 4 January 2009.
At De Fookhook, 4 January 2009, left to right: Sound engineer Niels Koster, venue organiser Piet Snellen, my good self, my wonderful Dutch agent Assie Aukes, and lighting technician Pieter Koster who also happens to be Niels' dad!
At the Seamus Ennis Centre in Navan on 6 December 2008 with the wonderful Niamh Parsons and Graham Dunne. A magical evening altogether.
Niamh and I took the opportunity to reprise our duet on 'The Parting Glass' -- the first time we'd sung it together since 1996!
Backstage with Niamh and Graham at the Seamus Ennis Centre.
Enjoying a cuppa with Colum Sands, who drove all the way from Rostrevor to my gig at Groucho's in Richhill on 2 December 2008 to record a radio interview.
At Theater Karroessel, Geleen, Netherlands, 22 November 2008, with Irish Night organisers (left to right) Ruud Heijnen, Hub Beuten and Armand Mathijs. Many thanks to Rien Seip for sending the photo!
Pamela Wyn Shannon played a lovely support slot for me at Woodend Barn Arts Centre in Banchory, Scotland, on 25 October 2008. Here we are with the magnificent Halloween Pumpkin she brought with her! Photo kindly supplied by Andrea Cardona.
A better view of Pamela's pumpkin, which sat in a position of honour onstage throughout the gig, adding immeasurably to the atmosphere! Photo, again, by Andrea Cardona.

Having seen me at the Sidmouth festival in August 2007, Dutch fan Karin Pronk asked me to do a special concert at her home in The Hague for her birthday - 14 March 2008. I was delighted to oblige, and here we are in Karin's back garden! Groetjes, Karin!
Here I am on 13 March 2008 at O’Shea’s in Rotterdam with Barend and Marjan van Straten, without whose kind hospitality and superb organisational skills I’d never have made it to Holland in the first place. Thanks also to Saskia Berkel for the photo!
My lovely new Andy Manson guitar in action at the Old Brewery, Cromarty, Scotland, 9 February 2008. You can also see – and hear! – it on video footage taken at the same gig. Just click <a href="http://www.sarahmcquaid.com/press-group-8.html">here</a>.
My beautiful new guitar – photographed by its maker, Andy Manson, in January 2008, just before I took it away! Here's how it looks from the front ...
... and here's how it looks from the back.
Andy Manson took this pic of me playing my new guitar in his workshop the day I collected it.
Piet Snellen of <a href="http://www.fookhook.nl">De Fookhook</a> is not only a superb venue host but a talented photographer, as you can see from these pics taken at my gig there on Sunday 6 January, 2008! Also see the News page for more on De Fookhook.
Another of Piet Snellen’s wonderful pics from De Fookhook, 6 January 2008.
One last pic from De Fookhook.
Chris Stanbury took this lovely pic of me playing at the Tisbury Folk Festival in Wiltshire on Saturday, 15 September 2007. For more photos by Chris, visit his website: <a href="http://www.swallowcliffe.com/Gallery-Menu.htm">www.swallowcliffe.com</a>.
I was singing "In The Pines" at the Tisbury Festival when the dog pictured below took the audience-participation call to heart and howled lustily along on the chorus. He was even in the right key! Thanks to Chris Stanbury for the pic.
