Hello Everybody,

I've been reading the forum here for a few months and finally decided to jump in. My interest in my Irish roots, beyond just family talk, came from my Dad taking my sister and me to a Clancy Brothers concert for my 16th birthday. Been hooked ever since, although its sort of just brewed in the background (you can't always find others who like it, especially at that age).

I went to my first Highland Games a few years ago, and really took a shine to the kilt. This past summer, I decided to take the plunge and buy one. It arrived around Christmas time and since then I've been trying to finish getting all the pieces and finish my education on proper wear, etc.

The forum here has been a wealth of information. I'm glad to be aboard

Mike
