Subject: RE: NTIF - anyone going?
What a great festival. Tons of great music. And to finally meet Jed, Guinesschick and Aine was a very special treat. Scotsbard and I play together in a band so seeing him was no big deal ;-). Wesley and Mimosa, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you.

Some of us will be down in Corpus Christi on March 31st for the South Texas Celtic Festival. Maybe we'll have more time to visit then. I'm looking forward to that.

Eammon's Kitchen did some wonderful stuff, my favorite being the kind of rocked up version of She Moved Through the Fair. Guinesschick belting it out, so unlike my a cappella version. I also really liked the song maybe called Roddy McCoy, or something like that. Keep up the good work.

Musically, I thought the highlight was the young band called Danu. 7 guys who play trad music with no gimmicks. Just good honest playing and singing. They are here in the states doing an extensive tour. Look for them in the Northeast soon.

Hope to see you all in the near future.
