Last Friday we attended a media luncheon in Beverly Hills, hosted by Tourism Ireland. Come along and join us as we visit with Irish musician Máirtín de Cógáin.

Máirtín de Cógáin currently based in San Diego, is a singing, dancing, story-telling bodhrán player who also is a noted playwright and actor. A native of Cork, he performs in his native Ireland and all over the U.S. The underbed music in this show was performed live by Máirtín and his bandmates at the Tourism Ireland event in LA.
