1818. Dublin, Ireland

[@suecorrigan]

Good afternoon, Lee! ❤🥰 🇮🇪 🍀☘️🌈 Ohhh, as an Irish lass over here on Cape Cod, I'm loving this. 😃 And, as a flautist, I absolutely love that statue of the lady playing flute. 🪈 😃🎶 Love the Chieftains! I can remember listening to them play with Sir James Galway. 🪈🥰🎶🇮🇪🍀🌈 I'm so glad to see the show is sold out! Have a great show tonight, from across the big pond on Cape Cod. Hello to my Irish friends, from a Corrigan. 🇮🇪🍀🎶🌈🥰 Tá grá agam duit, Lee! ❤🎸🎶🥰🤗

I keep thinking your going to get locked in the loft or something ha ha , great vid Lee, have a good show.

[@splashesin8]

Wow that does sound pretty and a little bit spooky when you said you were starting to feel like on the set of the Shining. 😂 I think the sound of the vents, and not another soul, lends to that spooky feel. I was beginning to wonder it it was as large as that other ginormous place where you began to wonder if you'd ever find which theater that the band was in, and I think you eventually had to go outside and back through the lines if people to get back in to where you could find a person that knew, something like airport security lines. You sure got massive amounts of stairs in that day. Can't quite believe how cold if has been in Texas today still. For a few days now. I've been trying to keep the pipes reasonably warm. Hoping you had safe travels today. I am a couple days behind again. ❤😊 Thanks for the adventure❣️

[@artemisXsidecross]

New Orleans has had 9.5 inches of snow, and a friend in Houston is worried about bursting water pipes with lows of 24 F early tomorrow morning. Climate Change is planetary, Trump and Musk going to Mars will not include most of us to be left on planet Earth.

I like to see the differences between the front and back houses. I don't think I've ever seen a glamorous backstage. I love these tours that you take us on. Thank you, Lee

[@VickersElectric]

Thanks for filming these awesome venues! Its great to see the different buildings. You have an awesome job, Lee!

[@frankzahn1860]

You've got us well-trained, Lee - we hear saxophone and we look for Brad! It was good of you to look through the door at the group last night in Scotland and confirm it WAS NOT Brad! Thanks for the tour (again!) and have a safe trip to Belfast!

[@91Kingscrib84]

Cold & drizzly, sounds like Ireland. :) Not surprised by the beautiful chandelier. Belleek, Waterford & Galway produce some of the world's most prized crystal. The theater interior is magnificent. It looks old world, though it was built in the 1980s. I was in Dublin the year it opened. I hope the beautiful hearts of Dublin will be warm & receptive to you all.☘️

[@91Kingscrib84]

Wonderful to hear that some of the venerable Chieftains will be there! 👏👏

[@DublinesqueMusic]

Wow, that's the National concert hall! Welcome to Ireland Leland 🇮🇪 I live nearby but that show sold out really quickly. So I got tickes for tomorrow's Belfast show!

[@PhilCatorio]

Thank You for taking us along. Have a great gig.

[@22lilac57]

I love your eye for detail, Leland, during these venue tours. So glad the gigs are sellouts!!🎼

[@lavatar3562]

Quite a live room, hopefully they’ll make it sound great for Lyle’s Band and Irish guests. ☘️

My father was born 100 or so miles west of Dublin. Would love to go back again one day. Thanks for taking us along

It's like a maze . Beautiful hall . My grandmother played the pipe organ in Manhattan . She was a music teacher . We have a lot of professional singers and musician including Sue . Not me . I got a degree in fine arts . I tried her flute . It sounded like dying Canadian geese . Have fun . Beautiful venue ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Such a beautiful old building. Those light fixtures in the room with the dark orange carpet. They appear to float. Some really amazing spaces. Appreciate the tour thanks!

[@stephenspencer4672]

Yes that is terrific for Lyle a really great guy , but I think Lee you have a lot of fans over there too. Enjoy the rest of your UK 🇬🇧 tour.😊❤

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I really liked this. A very nice venue. Pipe organs are neat. The Francis Winspear Centre in Edmonton, Alberta has a pipe organ. I've heard it being played. The choir loft is an interesting vantage point too. One of my (late) uncles was in a choir, and the first concert I saw was the choir he was part of with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. I wish those in California, and Maureen all the best. Cheers, Leland! 🙏✌️

Lyle & The Chieftains! Only Matt Molloy (flute) and Kevin Conneff (bodhran, vocals) are all that remain of the original band. Of course, those 2 gentlemen joined after the original formation of the group. Fantastic video, Lee. You make us feel as if we're walking between the seats ourselves!

Ah! Didn't realise you were in Dublin tonight. My girlfriend works there for years. Hope you have a great show!

[@paul00]

She also got worried for you in some of those rooms, floors aren't safe! It used to be a medical college, the main room was used for lectures at one point. They still film period hospital dramas in some of the corridors because it still looks like a hospital in the 1950s. Building due a refurbishment in the next year!

[@artfulyama9071]

[@artemisXsidecross]

@@KittyCarlile-490 Two of my favorite writers Rene Daumal and Walter Benjamin both died trying to escape Nazi occupied France and Germany. ‘It Can Happen Here’ should have been the title instead of ‘It Can’t Happen Here’ by Sinclair Lewis written in 1935.

[@KittyCarlile-490]

@artemisXsidecross sure can. That's what concerns me about so many people having blind trust and admiration for one man. Reminds me of the Frank Zappa song "It can't happen here" I wish Frank was still around to tell us what he thinks. He loved telling people his thoughts especially about politicians. Which brings to mind Politician by Jack Bruce. .... It's kind of a crazy world these days. One of the reasons I enjoy Leland's video's is they are interesting and relaxing
