The best things in life are free?

I hope that you all had a great St Patrick's Day.

My wife, Jill, and I went to the Waterfront Hall in Belfast last night to see a concert in tribute to the work of Bill Whelan, he of Riverdance fame. It was a freebee - tickets were available FOC from the BBC website.

The music was extraordinary and artists, including dancers, from across Europe (including three from Galicia in Spain) were there to support the Ulster Orchestra.

Congratulations to the BBC on running such a quality event at no (additional!) cost to the licence-payers that attended. The concert was broadcast live on BBC Radio Ulster and if you'd like to listen you'll find it here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_ulster.

I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did!
