I can’t believe how cheap the tickets are for the various really impressive lineup. $15 to see Altan?? Wow. Youse guys are lucky back there.Wish they had one in late August when I’ll be there.
Dang!!! I may have to cancel my honeymoon for that one!!
Not!!
Actually, I’vee seen Mary and Solas, and they are both great, so I guess I can go on the honeymoon…maybe I can pick up some good Mexican tunes in Cancun…
John,
thanks for pointing these out! Things will hopefully have quieted down for my by mid-July and I will try to catch Mary Bergin. I am still bummed about missing Andy Irvine.

That’s about the average price for seeing them, Weekenders. Four years ago they played at the Guinness Fleadh in San Jose, and along with them were the Chieftans, Sinead O’Connor, Mary Black and about 30 other bands. You got them all for what it cost to got through the gate.
Ready for this? This concert is sponsored by the group whose session I play in, and I only just found out about it! Should be a great evening. Also on the calendar:
Tommy Peoples (Donegal fiddler), July 25
Mary & Mike Rafferty (of CTL fame–Mary that is), Oct. 5
Cherish the Ladies, Dec. 1
Altan, Mar. 9
I’m getting my advanced tickets now!!!
This is merely a crass attempt to keep this post near the top of the message board as a cheap (as in free) advertisement for an event sponsored by my session group.
Still trying to keep this alive…

Be subtle my boy.
You just can’t find a good shill anymore.

To shill, or not to shill…
Please conjugate the verb “to shill”
Shill I post or not?
Little over a week for this concert, folks. Given the recent thread pitting Mary Bergan with Joannie Madden, here’s a prime opportunity for anyone in the southweatern Connecticut area to get some first-hand data.

I’ll be there, and most likely “Fiddling Tenor” and “Dances with Trout” will be there too.
*) Pending final babysitter arrangements.
It’s ok, you can bring her too, we won’t tell your wife.

Actually, it’s “him”. And I not worried about you not telling. I am worried about my wife not telling.
