Creeslough and Bridie Gallagher

Creeslough is a small village, with the population of the surrounding area engaged mainly in agriculture, mostly livestock rearing.  According to the 2016 census the population is 393 people.

Some of you may have heard of Bridie Gallagher,  I heard about her a few months ago on the radio.  She is regarded as Ireland’s first international pop star and was born in Creeslough.
You can hear her sing Homes of Donegal and Cutting the Corn in Creeslough

    The town is obviously proud of her. I hope she doesn't forget her roots and move to Las Vegas or somewhere equally horrid.

    Seems like a pleasant quiet place. Is that bike doing levitation?

    God bless.

    Hello, it is a pretty sign. It must be a small place with a population of 393? Enjoy your day, have a great new week ahead.

    So it just goes to show that small town people can be famous ans successful. k.d. lang comes from a town of less than 1000 people.

    Her singing style is the sort that make many folks nostalgic for Ireland.

    That’s a nice town welcome sign and I wondered if the bike was always there, Bill, as it’s a nice touch.
