Locate a non-profit organization which sponsors concerts by Celtic musicians. (Surely Boston has some.) Join. Volunteer to work the events. Perhaps if you work the event, you won't need to buy a ticket.

Buy your music there, from the musician. no shipping, no charge for exchanging currency. Plus, you know the performers, in a way.


What makes you think they come to Boston?   As I said before, the local host of WGBH's Celtic radio show goes over THERE to get this music!   These are mostly artists that stay in the EU-area. They're not big or rich enough to do world tours.   We're not talking Boys of the Lough or Battlefield Band or Enya here.   

Anyway, even if they did come to Boston it would be cheaper to buy the CD mail order when you throw in the cost of the gas, parking, subway, etc - we live out in the sticks.
