Sean Lightholder recently remarked on irelandlogue.com that early in the morning a mist rises from the River Shannon and obscures Athlone in a romantic haze of fog before the sunrise burns it all away. The fog rises suddenly and burns off just as fast - the whole process takes about 20 minutes. Sean got up super early to capture the magic on tape. What has only been witnessed by Irish river fishermen and early morning trucks crossing the town bridge is now here for your viewing pleasure. The accompanying music was recorded live by Sean at the bi-weekly Brideswell traditional Irish music session in County Roscommon.

Seán Lightholder interviews some Athlonians on Saint Patrick's Day, 2007. Sean is the resident blogger at www.irelandlogue.com and an amateur videographer who usually spends more time editing his videos than he did this time.

While visiting Galway, Sean visits Michael Vignoles, professional Irish instrument maker. While there, Michael demonstrates a set of uileann pipes he's making and procedes to create a pen from ancient bog oak on the spot.
