Jon, Danny had not been paid yet either, last time I spoke with him (very recently) for either CDs or the gig itself.
Chris, thanks for the reminder, I will put it here and in a separate thread.
Any 'Catters in the area? This event is FREE, hosted by the City of New London, through New London Main Street, and Celtic Cause.
No clue what is with the 'new management' which so far seems more of the former and less of the latter for this particular event.
We are fortunate to have visiting in the area, at the end of August, Danny O'Flaherty, of Connemara and late of New Orleans, for many years the proprietor of O'Flaherty's Irish Channel Pub in the French Quarter, where he played regularly in the Ballad Room. He will be in New London on Saturday, August 26, for Celts & Currachs, the first celtic heritage day in New London, Connecticut. We will have currach rowing instruction in the morning, then food, music, dancing, exhibition racing, and finish up with a concert by Danny at the historic waterfront park of downtown New London.
While he is in the area, we would love to help enable more people to hear this very special performer.
I am attaching information about Celts & Currachs and about Danny O'Flaherty. If you are interested in having him perform at your venue or home, please contact me at . And do come check out Celts & Currachs. Thanks for helping us pass the word!
