The program at The National Concert Hall last night gave the audience an unusual experience of a great range of sounds - some of them up to ear-drum-shattering volumes. This music presented was in various styles - some of which were contrasting and some of which were complimentary. On the whole, the concert was exciting and more interesting than I thought it would be a few weeks ago when I booked two tickets on the internet. ... read full story / add a comment

Boustany said to the governor that HSBC has anticipated the crisis of subprime and prepared itself to confront it.

Today, he says, the HSBC is the first first place in the ranking of large-capitalized banks, with 2.5 trillion dollars in assets. ... read full story / add a comment

The venue in Ravensdale, Co Louth, is a little difficult to find on a dark Autumn evening. However the effort was very worthwhile. The small concert hall is fashioned on the first floor from an old stable. The lighting was dim and warm with the added touch of two candelabra on either side of the platform and I think there were flowers as well. There was seating for about 70 people and the room was almost full by the time the concert started at 8.00 p.m. last night. A glass of wine could be had at the interval. I opted for a cup of coffee in a different room and made the acquaintance of Patrick Barrow and his grandson William from Monasterboice. ... read full story / add a comment
