Yes, this is cool. I took a week in Ireland for the very first Meitheal summer school directed by Gary Shannon in Ennis and had Kevin Crawford as one of my flute instructors. One of the students (an adult) made a joke about all the water Kevin brought and drank in class each day and made a remark about him drinking (alcohol) and he made it very clear that he did not drink, and had not had anything alcoholic in years. That made an impression on me, and glad to say that I too am a teetotaller :-)

@satellax: :) No problem! Yeah, Martin is great! Everybody at O'Flaherty's was excellent, and I'm looking forward to going again this year (and taking more videos too)! If you are a musician and get a chance you should definitely go!

@satellax: Hello! Sure thing! They're called the Teetotallers because that was an old phrase used during the prohibition meaning people who don't drink. All three of them, coincidentally, don't drink, so people joked they should be called the Teetotallers - and that's how the got their name! :) Thanks for watching and commenting.
