Yvonne Casey is a well known local fiddler and member of The Ceilidh Bandits. She lives in Lurraga/Ballyrean. The painting is of Yvonne sitting in her kitchen. To the left of Yvonne but out of the scene is her boyfiend Cillian. They asked if we’d like to pop round for a drink and a game of cards and it brought to mind Pat Woods’ stories of the meetings involving card games which often used to take place in Tadey Tierney’s house across the road. Various people have told me about his and referred to something called raganagh. I have no idea how to spell it. I think it means relaxation or something like that. No doubt I’ll be put right soon.
