UCD has events every so often exclusively for American study abroad students (since there are 400 of us), and last night I got to go to one of those events. We went to a very famous pub called the Merry Ploughboy Pub. The Merry Ploughboys are an Irish band who always perform at this pub. At the intermission of their playing a group of Irish dancers also came out and performed. It was a great night of authentic Irish entertainment, a must see for anyone visiting Ireland in my opinion. Here are a few pictures. (Forgive the poor quality, it was pretty dark in the pub.)

| This guy played all the wind instruments in the band (ones famous to Irish music). Here he is playing the uilleann (elbow) pipes which are similar to bagpipes. |
