Duration: 59 s
Description: NUI Galway Vice-President for Research, Professor Lokesh Joshi, shares his practical tips on how Mindfulness can help you make more positive decisions in your life.

To mark the anniversary of the passing of the great Mary McPartlan we have recorded a special tribute to Mary. Mary was a great patron of both the Testostertones and the NUIG Alumni Ensemble, with singers from these groups appearing on her 'Petticoat Loose' album from 2008. 

Harmonised by Ryan McCarty, this is a piece that Mary sung acappella on a video. With permission from Mick Ruane (videographer) we set about harmonsing and singing along with Mary and creating a virtual choir project.

Coordinated by Peter Mannion, this is our tribute to the late Mary McPartlan who is deeply missed as a staunch patron and defender of the Arts and as a singer and educator.
