Traditional Summer School Video
Here’s a video of a beautiful performance from Music Generation Laois’ Traditional Summer School 2015. A small group of students took part in a masterclass with the wonderful accordion player Martin Tourish and in a short space of time, this beautiful arrangement came to life!
Laois and Emo ‘Blast from the Past’
We don’t have to go back that many months to find a former Laois footballing great showing the way in a supposedly ‘Young Man’s Game’. Emo and Laois legend Mick Lawlor found the back of the Portlaoise twice in two minutes to take the reigning county champions to a replay.
What a man! 42-year-old Mick Lawlor scored two goals in two minutes in the Laois county final on Sunday
