macha was the pagan queen who gave armagh its name...
"ard mhacha" - meaning height of macha as it was this queen who first build her fortress on the hight of a hill near to where armagh stands today...
one of my favourite artists...who signed a print for me about 10years ago is jim fitzpatrick...who created these fantastic images of queen macha...
i had a friend from school who was studying fashion and textiles in galashiels...this girl was interviewing jim fitzpatrick in dublin and i begged for her to bring me back a signed postcard or poster or something...and what i have is a signed a4 print out of one of his works...
i'm looking forward to getting it re-framed and hung on a wall in our new house...
