What a Jam... What Great Friends

On Saturday night in Yonkers, Celtic Cross played a fun show for our great friends, the Blackthorn Pipe Band. It was a pleasure to play at their exceptional ball. We can't thank this cool group of people and musicans enough for showing up at literally every Celtic Cross show.

The highlight of the show was when we got a number of guests up on the stage with us. Dennis McCarthy from Jameson's Revenge & Shilelgh Law on fiddle, Jerry O'Sullivan on uilleann pipes, and Joe from the Blackthorn band on djimbe. Still trying to track down the tune names from what turned out to be a 25 minute Siege of Ennis... but Wow what fun. The last tune in particular was right off that Stockton's Wing live album I just wrote about last week... it was cool to recall and play that funky bass line with these very talented players.

I know some of the folks had video cameras going for the session. Please put them on Youtube so we can hear and see it all again.
