I suggest you both get in touch with paddymac. He has a wonderful Irish group called "Paddy Go Easy." They have an amazing repertoire of music. James Kelly is down there in south Florida as well and Brendan Nolan is in the Tampa area.

The FOFF newsletter has all sorts of Florida bands and solo acts for hire. Plus, everyone wants to winter in Florida so touring goes up in the winter months and we get to see people we might not normally see. Mark O'Conner is doing a workshop with his next concert in the Tampa area.

Randy and Beth Judy put on the Suwannee Springfest and the MagnoliaFest and those acts are often available for smaller venues while in the area.
