Barry, Your musical knowlege amazes me! I can't remember anything in Gaelic, so I realized I should look at Niamh's CDs... It's spelled Fear a Bhata on her Blackbirds & Thrushes, & it is familiar & compelling. I think you're right about Maureen singing it, but I never would've realized that on my own... Sounds quite different with a full band...

Bridget Fitzgerald is on our list of potential guest performers, but only being able to hire about 3 per year, we're giving out of town/country performers higher priority.

The Irish Cultural Center is starting to hire guest performers, & since they have alot bigger audience, (average about 25), they'll probably be able to get to Bridget before we do... They had the Bedlam Boys (Gregor & ?) a month or so ago, & I'm pretty sure they're having Jimmy Crowley from the Gaelic Roots festival, next Friday, June 22nd.
