Belfast Boys at McCrosky's on St. Patrick's Day in Hickory.

Adrian Rice
Ireland came to Hickory today in the form of leprechauns, fairies, tallll green hats, a lot of good Irishish food and, and the Belfast Boys!  Indeed, Alyn Mearns and Adrian Rice, both born and raised in Belfast, Ireland, brought the soul of their native land into our new neighborhood bar and grill here in Hickory, just 5 minutes from where yours truly lives.
 But the place was packed, both inside and outside, and this was right after noon on a Sunday.  The Belfast Boys played from 1 p.m. until 3:30, then left for another stint at Rock Barn, also here in Hickory from 6 to 9 p.m. Last night they were playing in Raliegh.  When you're good, when you're THIS good,word travels fast.
