Hello,
I am 13 years old, and home-schooled. I think your singing is lovely. I have studied beginner Irish Gaelic for a year, and love it. Mostly I love singing it- I think it is a beautiful shell through which to convey one's music. I listened a recording of you singing Don oiche ud i mBeithil and now know it by heart. But it was difficult to get the pronunciation right. Would you be willing to give me a few general points for singing in Irish?
I got three of your albums and i think your voice is brilliant. Its very calming music when i hear you sing, thanks and good luck.
Hi Cous.
A little early but here is wishing you the very best for a merry Christmas and a healthy and happy 2012 for you and your family. Already making plans to be at your show in Pennsylvania in March. Give my regards to all back at home.
Green Grow The Rushes Oh … I can’t get the chorus of my head anymore.
I tried to use it as a lullaby for our 8 month old son in the night after the concert. It didn’t work, he kept us awake until 3 am :-).
Thank you very much for a wonderful evening with Altan in beautiful Landshut (Germany)!
Cheers Jochen
Hi, my name is Darina...you were my very first teacher in St Oliver Plunketts in Malahide, Dublin...I was just lying listening to Altan and it brought me back...yourself and Mr Kennedy were my favourite teachers, we used to have you for music and then go with Mr Kennedy for PE I think...I had you for two years as I was kept back a year due to missing too much school in junior infants (asthma)...but u told me you asked them to keep me back because I was your favourite!! Funny the things we remember...anyway, I'm not sure why I'm sharing this with you, it just made me smile so I said what the hell. Darina x

Really great to see Altan in concert at Milwaukee's Irish Fest and what a treat to hear you, Moya, Seamus Begley and other musicians during a session in the hotel lobby on Sunday night after the festival! Thanks a million!
Slán,

So pleased Altan provided the final concert at last weekend's Irish Fair in St. Paul, MN. With Daithi Sproule living here, you are like family to the Twin Cities Irish. I put a few video clips on YouTube on the "FinbarFlix" channel. Thank you for a great performance.
Hi Mairead,
Hope you are well. Just visiting your site and wanted to say how sexy it is - as it should be!
Life in Galway is motoring on happily as I hope it is for you and Nia. Just back from Letterkenny. Off to Spain for a couple of days in the morning to lap up the sunshine.
lots of love,
