The Frost is All Over

Central to the title of the traditional Irish dance tune, The Frost is All Over, is the ambiguity that either the frost is everywhere or the frost has ended. Such is the inscrutability of Hiberno-English. On Sunday night in Dublin's Unitarian Church at St Stephen's Green, a very fortunate group of people will be able to test the proposition during "The Frost is All Over", a performance of traditional Irish music, poetry and images with the legendary Tony Mac Mahon (accordion), the superb David Power (uilleann pipes) and Dermot Bolger (words). If you have a few minutes, check out this very moving video collage of the show. It's time well spent.
