Hello, Patsy Fagan, you're the apple of the eye.

00:09
War more distant boy from Ireland, there's no one can deny it.

00:13
We're here and care of doing fair and distant Irish style.

00:31
And if there's one once you would like to marry me

00:35
I'll take her to my little home across the Irish Sea

00:38
I'll get her off and stop her, please her all I can

00:42
Since the people see her type to this Irish man

00:46
Hello, Patsy Bacon, you're the girl's alright.

00:50
Hello, Patsy Bacon, you're the apple of the eye.

You're the snort of Ireland, there's no one can win a play.

00:57

Cormac Gannon, Kenny Somerville, and Vinci Kean.

01:07
How's my Irish brogue?

01:09
Right, you guys are flattering me.

01:11
So this man, Cormac, came up with this crazy idea to have something called a fesh.

01:16
in Fairfax, California, which is in Marin County,

01:19
which I didn't realize was a suburb of Dublin.

01:21
What's a FESH?

01:23
FESH is an Irish festival of music and dance.

01:26
Right, and so it's going to be happening next weekend.

01:29
How many different venues is it going to be taking place in?

01:32
I think there's about 10 different venues.

01:33
Yeah, but there are, what, three principal venues, I believe,

01:36
because Fairfax is a hotbed of Irish music.

01:39
Who knew?

01:39
Oh, yeah, there's three bears there that have music in.

01:43
Three what? Bears?

01:45
There are three bears.

01:47
Three pubs.

01:48
Okay.

01:49
They have music regularly every weekend, and then at the pavilion as well, which is the main part of the event.

01:56
Okay, let me go over here for a translation.

01:57
So why is Fairfax such a hotbed of Irish music?

02:05
There's a session every Sunday of Irish musicians at the Sleeping Lady.

02:09
And also in San Rafael, there's Irish music being played at the Mayflower.

02:13
And all around Marin, a lot of people are playing Irish traditional music.

02:16
So there are something like, what, 12 different groups?

02:19
How many different groups are there performing?

02:21
Oh, I think we have 12 or 15 groups performing over the weekend.

02:24
So that's going to be happening next weekend.

02:26
We're going to give you details.

02:27
The 14th and the 15th. Weekend after next, I guess.

02:30
I'm sorry, two weekends?

02:31
Yeah.

02:31
Wow, the 14th and 15th.

02:32
Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th.

02:34
I apologize.

02:35
The 14th and 15th.

02:36
So would you take us out with a little bit of music while we give people some details

02:40
and I figure out what date it is?

02:42
Please.
