Irish music festivals?

Trad Irish Music
1

Hello-

I have just discovered traditional Irish and Scottish music. Despite the fact that I have Scottish roots, this music is new to me. I was browsing around on YouTube, came across some tinwhistling. I couldn’t believe my ears! It was this video that really moved me:

I am really interested in hearing more of this music, especially live. I live near Philadelphia PA/Cherry Hill NJ, and I am trying to find out about any Irish/Scottish/Celtic music festivals in the area this summer. Can anyone here steer me in the right direction?

Thanks.

-Sue

Have a look in the Chiff & Fipple City Guide.

The Irish Connections Festival in Massachusetts might be worth a long weekend trip:

Looks like they’re trying to step it up a bit. Pretty amazing line up musicians! Hopefully they don’t over commercialize it.
