Chris is back in Ireland today, and has been visiting Trinity College where he is being awarded the Gold Medal of Honorary Patronage of the University Philosophical Society.
Yes, he has brought his guitar along too:

Mr Hadfield was in Ireland last December, and took part in a special interview for Newstalk Breakfast. He also performed with the Chieftans on the day, following their earlier 'intergalactic duet' while Hadfield was in orbit.
Check out the videos of the interview and performance below:
