| | | | | Glór na mBan are a hit at the National Australian Folk Festival,CanberraThursday, March 24, 2005Glór na mBan made three appearances at the 2005 Australian National Folk Festival in Canberra. The band was really well received at the two main venues, the Merry Muse and the Pavilion, where audiences enjoyed the music songs and dance so much that they sold out of CDs! BUT the biggest cheer of all was the band’s entry in the “Most inspired version of an ABBA song” competition. Glor na mBan won their heat with “Irish Dancing Queen”! It must have been the leprechaun outfits that did it!
