I am emailing everyone from my college by computer and I am studying 
Archaeology for a masters degree at the moment . It's not exactly the 
sexiest thing to have on all my messages but the college provides 
this free so I can't complain really !

I just sent all the Mna na h Eireann stuff because I fell in love 
with Kates'  track and wanted everyone to have as full an account as 
possible ....... Sean O Riada was a very special person in Irish 
music and is a fascinating person to know about.

As for archaeological sites in Ireland ........where can I start ?!
Newgrange in Co. Meath is a must, as is Ceide Fields in Co. Mayo 
(where I've worked a fair bit ), Dun Aengus on the Arran Islands is 
spectacular but really the amount of stuff to visit in Ireland is 
VAST so if you come over pick up a guide book and away you go !
