I am very pleased to report that I won the Over-18 mandolin competition at the 2013 Midwest Fleadh! The Fleadh, which took place in St. Louis this year, determines who will qualify for the All-Ireland competition, which happens in August at Derry/Londonderry - sort of the Olympics of Irish music. With my win in St. Louis, I am now qualified to compete at the All-Irelands!
