Summer Performance Opportunities for Fiddlers and Harpers

Hi all. This is to get the word out about 2 Celtic music events I am organizing this summer.

1. Bogart Farmers' Market, Tuesday, July 5th, starting at 5, inside the Pavillion. I am putting together a LOT of music for this (3 hours!!), so I am looking for players that want to work together in several small groups, rather than one group that plays for the whole 3 hours.

2. Sweet Pea Festival, Children's Stage, Saturday, August 6th, time not yet determined. This will be a shorter performance (less than an hour), and I plan to involve lots of players.

Neither of these events pay anything directly but they can easily lead on to other things that will. They will be a good opportunity to show an audience how good you are! Also to learn how to play into a microphone.

I am also hoping to involve Chelsea Close and her awesome Irish step dance troupe in one or both of these events! I will keep you posted on that.

Happy Spring! It IS coming!!

Cheers, Tom

Date for the Ceilidh (Celtic Music Party) has changed!

I made a colossal blunder and scheduled the Ceilidh for a night when there's a contra dance! So now it's rescheduled for 7:30 on April 30th. NOTE: THIS START TIME IS ONE HALF HOUR LATER THAN IN THE PAST! Sorry for the confusion.

Here are all the CORRECT dates for the rest of the semester.
