It runs 10 to 7, right on the piers at Waterfront Park, and is FREE. We have Jodee James singing Welsh (and Cornish) songs, Dan Ringrose and Danny O'Flaherty singing Irish songs, the Mystic Highland Pipe Band, Ed Miller singing Scots songs, Glenn Pryor playing both war pipes and lowland smallpipes, Spirited Soles Irish Dance Troup, the Mystic Scottish Country Dancers, Celtic Melody playing Irish tunes, Trouz Bras with Breton tunes and songs, cultural exhibits and booths, vendors, food, demonstrations, and audience dancing; should be perfect weather and a lot of fun! |

As I understand it Sharynne MacLeod NicMhacha, lead vocalist & Mance Grady, bodhran player & percussionist may do a few things together after this but you'll not hear a group like this in a long time to come.
