What a day. For the first time ever the LaoisToday Podcast is coming to you from New York.
Excuse the hoarse voice and the somewhat patchy production – this episode was recorded on a bus in New York, on a boat near Ellis Island and from our hotel near Times Square.
But we hope it gives a sample of what it has been like travelling around one of the world’s most iconic cities with a male choir group from Laois that has really captured the imagination and continues to break new ground.
We hear from some of the choir members – including one from Australia and ones that have crossed the borders from Crettyard, Ballyroan and Stradbally. We do hear from a couple of Timahoe men as well.
We hope to back with another episode tomorrow hearing from some of the Laois community based in New York.
