I think they've gone off the "live air" for now but will be back tomorrow, I'm hoping I can be there

Don't know about that Sunday broadcast... I haven't seen any evidence in the festival program (or the WGBH website) that WGBH will be broadcasting it again on Sunday, but maybe I missed something. Saturday is folk/Celtic day on 'GBH. Sundays they do other things.

I'm just back from a day at the festival -- bailed out after eight hours of music today since I'm going back tomorrow and will catch Lunasa then -- and a splendid time was had, even with $6 beers. It was especially neat to hear the Tannahill Weavers again since they haven't been in the Boston area in years. I do recommend it for anyone in the area who doesn't yet have plans for tomorrow.

Hi Tom
Thanks for the report. If I make it there for tomorrow I'll be playing bodhran in the Comhaltas tent that's hosting a session (4pm-9pm). The session leader, Larry Reynolds can point me out. stop in to say hi.

Tannahill Weavers!! What a treat that must have been. Saw them in Montreal about 4 years ago. Must look up on their web site and see if they are coming north.

Hi, Barry,
See any Gloucester folk? Hint: Smallpipes and bodhran.
