You can check out the details here]]> admin@nospam.com (admin) Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:24:01 +1300 http://www.sceal.co.nz/news.php?item.414.4 Auckland Irish Centennial Cookbook http://www.sceal.co.nz/news.php?item.413.4
ALL proceeds go to the Auckland Irish Welfare Fund (a very worthy cause!) and the book is retailing at $35. Sceal has transferred all copyright and ownership to the Welfare Fund so the book is now entirely theirs! - we're nice like that

We're looking at a full colour, fully bound 140 page book here, and it's jam packed full of Traditional (and some not so traditional) Irish recipes - but more than that, we've removed most of the pictures of food (yawn boring!) and replaced them with images, stories and songs of the Irish community spanning 80 years!

Interest has been high and I'm already a bit nervous that we haven't enough ordered
- I would recommend preordering like I've had to (and I designed the book!)

We’re having a Traditional Irish Session in Onehunga Main Street Bar on Thursday the 15th of September in aid of Hospice NZ.

Details on the main musician Richie Keane are below;

Onehunga is host to the Irish team during the Rugby World Cup, and we are pleased to have Richie Keane all the way from Limerick performing traditional Irish music .

Richie Keane’s musical success as a solo artist and guitarist and part of a traditional band has won him critical acclaim both in Ireland and overseas. He has sold over 10,000 C.D’s and has played around the world including in front of over 30,000 at Boston’s St Patrick’s Day Festival.

Help support Mercy Hospice in conjunction with House of Travel Ellerslie with a donation towards this cause and enjoy a night of great musical talent

I would appreciate it if you could circulate this within your group. I know it's quite short notice but the more the merrier!

Like the Hurling final which took place two weeks ago – the football final is one of the great highlights on the Irish sporting calendar and Irish people living in New Zealand will be able to hear a “live” broadcast of the final throughout the country on Monday morning on the Radio Sport Network. To check out the Radio Sport frequency in your region visit: www.radiosport.co.nz

Kerry leads the All Ireland Football roll of honour with thirty six titles and Dublin has twenty two titles. Throughout the 70’s and early 80’s Dublin and Kerry played some memorable games at Croke Park and the last time they met in an All Ireland Final was 1985 and Kerry were the victors that day. Kerry won their last title in 2009 and Dublin last won in 1995.

The game starts at 2.30am (New Zealand time) on Monday 19 September 2011, and organizer Oliver Lee will present a special radio programme from midnight on Sunday 18 September. The programme will feature Irish Music, links to Ireland and a chance for listeners to talkback and re-live some of their memories of great Irish sporting occasions of the past.
