Well Done, Brian

Well done to past pupil, Brian Hughes on packing the Dominican Church for the launch of his musical composition inspired by the Shackleton story.  Brian is a well established musician with much published work on both the whistle and the uileann pipes.  His latest and greatest work is an amazing compilation of the atmosphere of the sea and the sense of adventure, excitement and lonliness felt by the brave explorer.  With John MacKenna narrating and backed by the County Kildare Orchestra and the Monasterevin Gospel Choir, Brian's suite of compositions has created a lasting musical monument.  Brian's genius and humility are destined for even greater recognition.  Well done, Brian
