Höchstädt Dance Kids become friends
In the summer of 2001 a party from Clare visited Bavaria to attend a folk festival in Höchstädt, Northern Bavaria, where Pat was top of the bill. Also taking part were a group of young German Irish dancers, such was the impression they created that Paeder McNamara arranged for the Dance Kids to visit Clare. In March 2002 the dancers and parents, a party of more than 40 people travelled to Clare where they danced on St Patrick's day in Ennis. |
