It’s this weekend. I’ve never gone; but, am considering trying to make if over this year. Especially because, the Washington DC Irish Festival has been cancelled for 2002.
Any one planning on attending?
Enjoy Your Music,

I managed to seen Brenga Astur (who I also saw last year) and Andy Stewart (“When I was a young apprentice, and less than compis mentis…”) and enjoyed both. I got over to the session tent for a few tunes. There were a bunch of the regulars from the NoVa session there. I managed to walk up just as they were playing a couple of hornpipes I knew, which was lucky for me since my scanty repetoire makes such a happening unlikely. However, the young kids were fast fading and I had to leave shortly thereafter.
I REALLY wanted to get there, especially to see Andy Stewart (and the Battlefield Band and Iona), but was recovering from very stressful preparation for a first birthday party (not my own) that, of course, went perfectly smoothly on Saturday. I literally snoozed away half of Sunday.
We both swore that there will be no huge second birthday party; hopefully by the time she’s a few more years old, she’ll be asking us to take her to the Celtic Festival for her birthday!
