Dublin Marathon

I've noticed lots of enthusiastic runners around Dublin city and suburbs over the past few months, no doubt a large share of them are in training for the Dublin city marathon which takes place on Monday, 31st October 2012.

My three brothers are taking part this year. One is flying in from Chicago, one from London and my little brother is coming up from West Cork to take part. The rest of the family have been summoned to Dublin to cheer them on! The competition between them is beginning to intensify but with a few injuries being mentioned it's hard to know which brother will 'win'.

There is a great atmosphere around Dublin every year for the marathon. All the Dublin hotels are busy and most including Temple Bar Hotel serve up a healthy, carbohydrate rich breakfast on the morning.

Best of luck to my three brothers and to all those taking part in the marathon this year.

Dublin Gospel Choir

As strange as it may sound, St. Mary's Church of Angels was the place to be last Saturday night! One might think a church would be the last place you'd want to spend your Saturday night but between the disco lights, the smoke effects and the dancing crowd, some might say it would beat Dublin's club scene any day!

Dublin Gospel Choir (or DGC as they like to call themselves) belted out an array of tunes that carried on for over two and a half hours last Saturday night in aid of a fundraiser for the church's local charity. Tickets were only €10 for a student/with a concession and €15 for adults. 'Aint't no Mountain High Enough', 'Oh Happy Days' and 'Lifted' were among the many songs that graced the stage that night as part of their set list. The choir were bursting with energy throughout the whole night, encouraging the crowd to get up, dance and sing along to the songs.

The show was finished at a reasonable hour-10.30pm- so a trip over to Temple Bar to continue the nights festivities was the perfect way to follow on the night. A quick drink in Buskers Bar before heading to Alchemy nightclub was the ideal Saturday night adventure.

The MC for the night (who was a monk) was brilliant! He was funny and really got the crowd involved. He was delighted with the turn out and thanked us endlessly for our support. DGC have taken a break for the summer but usually sing in this church on the first and third Sunday of each month. They are definitely a must see, Click on the link here to go to their webpage.
