OK, this is an unabashed plug. The Shamrock Traditional Irish Music Society is holding its 10th anniversary concert on May 16 at the Pequot Library in Southport, CT, from 2 to 10 p.m. The first two acts are volunteer musicians, but the rest of the lineup is a hit parade of some of the most well-known and/or best trad musicians living here in the area. We're drawing from NYC, Connecticut, and Westchester and Rockland counties in New York and featuring musicians who've been our headliners at house and larger concerts in the past decade.
Bring a picnic meal if you're in the area. The weather is expected to cooperate and the music couldn't be better. You can wander in and out all afternoon and evening.
Here's a partial line-up:
4:00 The Shannonaires Reunion (Murphy, Danaher & Ferguson)... 4:30 Darwin O'Shen... 5:00 Girsa... 6:30 James Keane (all Ireland Champ)... 7:30 Don Meade (all Ireland Champ)... 8:00 John Whelan (all Ireland Champ) & John Brennan... 9:00 Brian Conway & Felix Dolan (all Ireland Champ)... and suprise guests
