Slane Castle, County Meath, Ireland
I really was there. You can spot me in the lower left corner, in a red sweater. The photo was taken on day three, right before the concert rehearsal started.
The Bad
- This castle was the ONLY thing I saw in Ireland, besides my hotel room and the Dublin airport.
- The food. Served up in a tent on the castle grounds by two older Irish women who conformed to every stereotype of the Mean Lunch Lady. Every meal included boiled potatoes, and some kind of vaguely stewed meat.
- Severe sleep deprivation, long work days, and no small amount of stress.
The Good
- Our shoot, and the entire production, went really well. Can’t wait to see the footage! Look for the Celtic Woman concert on your local PBS station in December.
- Did mention I was at a castle? In Ireland?
Fun Fact
- U2 recorded The Unforgettable Fire in this ballroom in the castle.
