September... back to playin great shows

This summer just flew by as I write this on Labor Day. We all took some time to be with family and friends, and vacations. We also have spent time writing for the next Celtic Cross record... may even preview some of the new materal this fall.

Our Fall calendar features a number of great shows around the tri-state area, so mark your calendars. Here are the highlights...

This Saturday, September 12th... we are playing with our friends The Cousins Moran in New City, NY at Doyler & Dunny's Half Way To St. Patrick's Party. The outdoor show kicks off at 3PM in a great big festival tent. Bring out the family for a Sunday evening of fun. We played this show in March and it was a great afternoon...

Saturday, September 19th we head down the shore to Sea Girt, NJ for The Irish Festival at the Jersey Shore for an early day spot at 11:30 AM! Will be an early start for us for sure... but make a day of it with your parents and kids down the shore. Also appearing are Gael Force, Seanchai, The Bogside Rouges, The Bare Knuckle Boxers, Round the House, The Patty Furlong Ceili band, Teresa Kane, and Sean Hennessy(Lead vocal of Blackwater) as festival MC.

And Sunday, September 20th we are at the Great Irish Fair of New York in Coney Island. We don't get down to Brooklyn near enough to see our friends down there. Our appearance is at 2PM. Also appearing on that day are The Canny Brothers, Jameson's Revenge, and The Screaming Orphans. Check out the Saturday bill too featuring Andy Cooney, Mac Talla Mor, and Unforgettable Fire.

Perhaps the highlight of the month is a great show at Rory Dolan's in Yonkers on Saturday, September 26th with the fabulous Girsa... the best new young trad act in the US. Nothing like a Saturday night on Maclean and we can't wait to collaborate on a few numbers with the talented ladies from Girsa.

Finally, back up to East Durham NY for Gavin's Second Annual Guiness Festival on Saturday October 17th. A great lineup of our friends will appear including Frank Jaklitsch, The Kitty Kelly Band, Padrig Allen & The Whole Shabang, Dermot Henry, The Andy Cooney Band and Jimmy Walsh as MC. Make your reservations now to stay up for a great fall day and evening under Gavin's outdoor heated festival tent.
