Subject: New England gig late August? From: Celtaddict Date: 14 Jul 06 - 08:14 PM We will have Danny O'Flaherty, of Connemara then New Orleans, here in Connecticut the last weekend of August, and would love to line up another gig or two for him in the area (say, Boston to NY, or in MA or even southern VT or NH). Any ideas? |

Subject: RE: New England gig late August? From: BuckMulligan Date: 14 Jul 06 - 09:29 PM Plenty of ideas - check into The Tupelo Music Hall in Londonderry, check into places in Newburyport, Mass, check into places in Peterborough NH, and so on across the southern tier of NH. Sadly, this is the "Folk Belt" so lots of places are booked well in advance (but lots of places have open mikes too) |

Subject: RE: New England gig late August? From: Barry Finn Date: 14 Jul 06 - 11:38 PM Look at "Music for Robin" & then try Billy Hocket (Robin's mother) that calender handles mostly Irish music, you might also try Brian O'Donovan of WUMB's (or is it WERS) "Celtic Connections". Both of these people may be very helpful & would you tell them both that I say Hi. Barry |

Subject: RE: New England gig late August? From: Susan of DT Date: 15 Jul 06 - 08:08 AM How about using the permathread designed for this? |

Subject: RE: New England gig late August? From: Celtaddict Date: 15 Jul 06 - 10:22 AM Thanks, Barry and BuckMulligan. Susan, did not know there was a looking-for-gigs permathread, just the who's-touring-where one, sorry. Vixen, we are planning a daytime event in New London with currachs, rowing teaching and demonstration and a mini-regatta on the New London waterfront on August 26, and it will include a concert by Danny (who is an avid rower himself), and some related events. We would love to line him up with one or two other things while he is here, probably Thurs-Sun but flexible, and no doubt longer if something can be lined up. |

Subject: RE: New England gig late August? From: JedMarum Date: 17 Jul 06 - 06:06 PM For those Mudactters who don't already know him, Danny is one of America's jewels! (We claim him now). He is gifted singer and a magnetic performer with a way of passing on his love for culture and history. I get to see him every now and then in my travels and I always look forward to it. Good luck with getting some dates booked, Celtaddict. And please give Danny my best. |
