It has already made new discoveries of strata indicating water as it begins its two-year mission to search out the geology and history of Mars. Its eventual goal is Mt Sharp, the central impact peak in Gale Crater, where an eroded layer of geological strata await its discovery. Outings 3 Laps in a Lamborghini Friday, February 21, $172 pp Depart SCPL 12:30 p.m.; Return 6:30 p.m. Ride in a Lamborghini Or you may ride in a Ferrari, a Porsche, Audi R8, all worth up to $250,000. 3 laps around a sports car track in a super sports car. This is an exclusive opportunity for our Sun City group from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. after our safety briefing. We will be the only people at the track for this riding experience, brought to you by Xtreme Xperience. Founded on the principle that life is about the journey and not the destination, Xtreme Xperience travels across the U.S. offering thrill seekers the opportunity to experience the thrill of riding in the world’s most exclusive cars. Ride shotgun as one of the professional drivers speeds you around the course for the thrill ride of a lifetime! How fast will you go? We will have a chance for up close briefings on several cars while we each take turns safely riding next to professional drivers on a closed track, the Harris Hill Raceway. H2R, designed by track designer David Donovan, is located in the hills of northeastern San Marcos, Texas. The track is a 1.82-mile, 11-turn asphalt road course. The course is 36-feet wide with over 150 feet of elevation changes and a challenging mix of on and off-camber turns, including the 80-foot rise and drop of Santa Rita, Turn 4, (named after the patron saint of the impossible task). There is a little bit of everything included within the 11 turns including increasing radius turns, decreasing radius turns, positive camber, negative camber (and one turn that has both within the same turn!), one long sweeper, several blind corners, and an 80-foot rise-and-fall in one turn. Since different sized people fit more easily into some of these cars, we’ll do our best to help you choose one of the top 2 cars you prefer and are likely to fit into comfortably. Light refreshments, restrooms, use of a clubhouse with seating will be available. Because it is a custom ride, there’ll be time for up close looks at several cars not in use as well as the 4 or more cars used for our 3 lap ride. Feel free to bring a lunch and/or snack with you on the bus. This trip is physically aggressive and not wheelchair accessible. This trip includes motorcoach transport ation and super sports car ride.

The Chieftains is a traditional Irish band formed in Dublin in 1962 by Paddy Moloney, Sean Potts and Michael Tubridy. First rehearsals were held at Moloney's house with Tubridy, Martin Fay and David Fallon. Their sound, which is almost entirely instrumental and largely built around uilleann pipes, has become synonymous with traditional Irish music , and they helped popularize Irish music around the world. The group continued to release successful records throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and their work with resulted in the critically acclaimed album Irish Heartbeat . They have collaborated with many other well-known musicians and singers including Pavarotti, the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Sinéad O'Connor and Roger Daltrey. The band has won six Grammys and received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2002. Some music experts have credited The Chieftains with bringing traditional Irish music to a worldwide audience, so much so that the Irish government awarded them the honorary title of Ireland’s Musical Ambassadors in 1989. In 2012, they celebrated their 50th anniversary with the release of their most recent record Voice of Ages. Ticket cost includes transportation and concert ticket.

Van Morrison & The Chieftains – Irish Heartbeat (Remastered) (1988/2020) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz] Van Morrison & The Chieftains – Irish Heartbeat (Remastered) (1988/2020) FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/96 kHz | Time – 38:56 minutes | 815 MB | Genre: Rock Studio Master, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Legacy Recordings. “Irish Heartbeat”, a collaboration album with Van Morrison, was Van’s first attempt to reconcile his Celtic roots with his blues and soul music. It was also The Chieftains’ first full blown collaboration album. Although there were worries about working with a major rock star, the recording was a success, introducing elements of Van’s unique soul and jazz style singing to traditional songs and music. This was the beginning of an ongoing successful musical relationship between Van and The Chieftains. “Irish Heartbeat” was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1989, and there followed a tour of Europe and the UK. “On their wide musical journeys in the ’80s, the Chieftains decided to collaborate with Van Morrison, who had an artistic peak at the end of the decade. The result was a highlight in both of their ’80s productions: the traditional Irish Heartbeat, with Morrison on lead vocals and a guest appearance from the Mary Black. Morrisonand Moloney’s production puts the vocals up front with a sparse background, sometimes with a backdrop of intertwining strings and flutes, the same way Morrison would later use the Chieftains on his Hymns to the Silence. The arrangement and the artist’s engaged singing leads to a brilliant result, and these Irish classics are made very accessible without being transformed into pop songs.

    Irish Bands of the 60S & 70S | Sample Answer

    Irish Bands of the 60s & 70s | Sample answer Ceoltóiri Cualann was an Irish group formed by Sean O’Riada in 1961. O’Riada had the idea of forming Ceoltóiri Cualann following the success of a group he had put together to perform music for the play “The Song of the Anvil” in 1960. Ceoltóiri Cualann would be a group to play Irish traditional songs with accompaniment and traditional dance tunes and slow airs. All folk music recorded before that time had been highly orchestrated and done in a classical way. Another aim of O’Riada’s was to revitalise the work of harpist and composer Turlough O’Carolan. Ceoltóiri Cualann was launched during a festival in Dublin in 1960 at an event called Recaireacht an Riadaigh and was an immediate success in Dublin. The group mainly played the music of O’Carolan, sean nós style songs and Irish traditional tunes, and O’Riada introduced the bodhrán as a percussion instrument. Ceoltóiri Cualann had ceased playing with any regularity by 1969 but reunited to record “O’Riada” and “O’Riada Sa Gaiety” that year. “O’Riada Sa Gaiety” was not released until after O’Riada’s death in 1971. The members of Ceoltóiri Cualann, some of whom went on to form “The Chieftains” in 1963 were O’Riada (harpsichord and bodhrán), Martin Fay, John Kelly (both fiddle), Paddy Moloney (uilleann pipes), Michael Turbidy (flute), Sonny Brogan, Éamon de Buitléir (both accordian), Ronnie Mc Shane (bones), Peadar Mercer (bodhrán), Seán Ó Sé (tenor voice) and Darach Ó Cathain (sean nós singer. Some examples of their tunes are “O’ Carolan’s Concerto” and “Planxty Irwin”.
