GRAND SUCCESS FOR THE CAMERATA CANTABILE ON ITS TOUR TO IRELAND. Pag 3/3   DAY SEVEN Waterford. Christchurch Cathedral   Without realising it, we had reached our last concert of the tour - in Christchurch Cathedral in Waterford (the fourth largest city in Ireland). Perhaps, being aware that we were singing all the songs for the last time, it was our best concert in terms of musical quality. After the concert, we returned to New Ross to host a dinner (followed, of course, by a typical Spanish fiesta) to all the collaborators of our tour. During the dinner, we enjoyed the performance of a traditional Celtic band. If this tour has been a success, it is due to the excellent organization and generosity of John Enright.  A former colleague of one of the members of the Camerata, he offered to organize the tour, negotiating all the performances and taking care of all logistical arrangements such as the hotel booking and coach transportation.  He took on the responsibility of promoting the concerts and ensuring that we performed in the best venues of this part of Ireland.  And, if this was not enough, he also arranged all the sightseeing tours and did all this without receiving any form of payment.  We will never have the words to thank him enough for giving us the opportunity of visiting his beautiful country and, on top of it all, being able to do what we love best - making music.   The tour has ended but unforgettable memories remain embedded in our minds. Not only musical memories or memories of the beautiful Irish scenery, but rather memories of laughter and teasing, of late night chats in the hotel bar accompanied by pints of Guiness, of dancing, clapping and singing during lunches and dinners - in short, the opportunity to get to know each other better and to strengthen the friendship that unites us as a group.       Poster of the Waterford concert         Making the entry to the stage         A moment of the concert         Another moment in the concert         The traditional Irish group which performed during the dinner         The Irish teaching us to dance a jig       We trying to imitate them (without much success as one can see)       Showing John Enright and his wife Maureen the affection we have for them       Previous page
