Grey is currently playing with a young bodhran/guitar ace, Paddy League. Grey, who is the nicest man you'd ever hope to meet, lives in Bloomington, Indiana, and runs a monthly (first Friday) open Irish session there at the Border's bookstore coffee shop.

Used to be every Friday, then they pared it down to every other Friday, and now this; at this rate, there'll soon be no session at all. And yet the coffee shop is filled with people to come and hear. Go figure.

Some months ago, he and Paddy released their first joint album, The Green House. It and features Grey on flute, whistle, and concertina; Paddy mainly does drum and guitar, and is tremendous on both.

The two were doing workshops last week at the ZoukFest in Taos, NM.

The Indianapolis Irish Festival is September 20-21. Grey will be running the session tent one of those two days, but I don't know if Paddy will be there, too. (If not, my daughter will be inconsolable; she's lost her heart to the young and gorgeous Mr. League.)
