It was a fantastic night. Great venue, stuffed full of great people, great 
music, song and dance.  Drink. Food. Balloons and a Christmas tree.
A stellar line-up on stage and in the bar. We raised more money than we'd 
hoped for.

A bitter-sweet night.  Mostly a joyful gathering, but there were tears as 
well.  We finished up with communal rendering of 'Sae Will We Yet' a song that 
Tony re-cycled many years ago.  Not a dry eye in the house after that.

Family and friends from Boston took back photos, a book of messages written by 
folk at the ceilidh, a video and other ephemera.  Tony went through it all 
many times over the following days.
