Short Tweets About Irish Stuff

It takes a long time for me to write a blog post and because I haven't had much to spare lately, I've been posting whatever Irish stuff I find interesting on Twitter where I often link to websites that I think would be of interest to myself, first of all, but also to other Irish-Americans in the greater Boston area.

I've also expanded the Irish Thymes calendar to include more varied events; I started the calendar originally to keep track of the Irish set dancing classes in the Boston area, so it is loaded with set dancing events, which I continue to enjoy. I don't want to duplicate other websites, like Irish Massachusetts or the Irish Cultural Center of  New England and the very comprehensive Music For Robin website that lists Celtic music concerts for 100 miles around Boston - and there are many other great websites - so I don't try to list everything. But, if you know of something that might be of interest, please let me know and I'd be happy to share on the Irish Thymes website (or maybe just Twitter).  Leave a comment or use this contact form.

    Hi there, enjoying your blog. If you're looking for relatives in Cork or just want a taste of the culture it's worth finding The Cork News on Facebook. It's a weekly newspaper I used to read online from NY, but I've recently moved here so I get it in my mail box free every week!

    They're also on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/thecorknews -- I especially like getting my news in little soundbites like this, where I can dig deeper for more of what interests me.
