I got to hear this wonderful group in Petaluma at the Butter & Egg Days Parade and Event last Saturday. What an absolute delight. I had so much fun...they played in the Theatre District. The District is a cobble-stoned plaza that has a marvelous water fountain where one can perch and cool during an outside concert. the fountain is tiled with hand made ceramic tile and ceramic faces of all types...that was a real treat for Bob, a former custom tile setter-he just had to take a picture of it!
The band is newly formed and plays Celtic music....some modern tunes as well but with a definite Celtic flair. The musicians are versitle; they all sing and play multiple instruments. I'd have to say, you'd have a hard time standing or sitting for that matter still while they are playing. The Irish seemed to come out in everyone in the audience as well. Small children danced, old couples spun about-it was quite a treat. Their next gig is at the Dixon May Fair, wish I could go!
They will be deployed soon to go overseas and entertain and lift the spirits of our troops....what a wonderful way to use your craft....I must say, as a retired musician (I still sing though) I'm a bit jealous....wish I'd had this opportunity or even known about it as a young person. read more
