 photo by Ed Barna Rising Irish group O'hAnleigh, whose music has been heard on radio stations in 36 countries, played at this year's Vermont History Expo in Tunbridge. The name got converted from Gaelic to Hanley in crossing the Atlantic, and the group's leader is no other than Middlebury's own Irish cop, Chief of Police Tom Hanley. The singing of Rebecca Hanley (at Tom's left) is one of their strengths, and the versatile Cindy Hill (banjo here, fiddle at other times, alto vocals) is one reason they can do so much as a trio. Their debut CD "Of Irish Crossings Told" can be obtained or ordered at the Vermont Book Shop in Middlebury, and a ringtone of their "Ain't It Bloody Well Grand to Be Irish" can be downloaded free at cdbaby.com.
