DESCRIPTION:
The Wexford Carol:

Good people all, this Christmas time,
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending his beloved son
With Mary holy we should pray,
To God with love this Christmas Day
In Bethlehem upon that morn,
There was a blessed Messiah born
The night before that happy tide
The noble Virgin and her guide
Were long time seeking up and down
To find a lodging in the town
But mark right well what came to pass
From every door repelled, alas
As was foretold, their refuge all
Was but a humble ox's stall

Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God's angel did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear
Arise and go, the angels said
To Bethlehem, be not afraid
For there you'll find, this happy morn
A princely babe, sweet Jesus, born
With thankful heart and joyful mind

The shepherds went the babe to find
And as God's angel had foretold
They did our Saviour Christ behold
Within a manger he was laid
And by his side a virgin maid
Attending on the Lord of Life
Who came on earth to end all strife
There were three wise men from afar
Directed by a glorious star

And on they wandered night and day
Until they came where Jesus lay
And when they came unto that place
Where our beloved Messiah lay
They humbly cast them at his feet
With gifts of gold and incense sweet.

Owen Brady

Owen Brady is being hailed as Dublin's next big thing in music. A singer (starting as a boy soprano) he has just released his first album "Prepare to be Happy". He has been nominated for the Meteor Music Hope Award and has recently completed a nation-wide tour. Already with appearances on the Late Late Show and other television chat shows, he looks to be on the way to the top. Owen has hung up his rugby boots after a promising start -- with Gordon D'Arcy and Des Dillon he was on the team which won the schools senior cup in 1998. Rugby's loss is music's gain.
