Dancing in Leenane

The folk-music duo, Men of Worth, was formed by James Keigher (Ireland) and Donnie Macdonald (Scotland) in 1986.  Both exiles, it was through the Celtic music scene in Southern California that James and Donnie first met, and within a couple of years a partnership developed that was simultaneously serious and fun.   Geographical changes now find James and Donnie living in Southern Oregon and Northern California respectively. Whilst remaining true to their Gaelic roots, Men of Worth have successfully evolved as entertainers.  A natural progression toward education and travel has sealed the next decade as an exciting and pioneering era for the versatile duo.  Cultural presentations in Schools have received rave reviews by students and teachers alike. 

The experience of a vacation in Ireland, and in Scotland, escorted by James and Donnie is now a reality.   The Men of Worth travel program began in April 2003 in the Scottish Highlands, and has continued with great success with two tours each year in Scotland, and two tours each year in Ireland.
