We participated in the Family Fair Day for the Lancaster Festival last Saturday. It was a fabulous day, but if we had to sum it up in one word, that would be HOT!
We gave a concert on the stage at 10:45. We played some of our standards like “Fields of Athenry” and “Come By The Hills.” There was audience participation with “The Wild Rover” and “Rattlin’ Bog,” and we included some of the not-so-blantantly Christmas selections, “What Noise on Earth” and “Christmas Day Ida Moarnin’” to promote the new CD. We ened with a three-part a capella version of “The Parting Glass.” It is quickly becoming our favorite piece to sing.
Later in the day we gave hands-on instrument demonstrations on dulcimer and bodhran. Many thanks to our good friend John for leading the bodhran classes! We had eager participants of all ages. It really is cool to see so many people interested in folk music. We had a great time. Thanks to everyone who stopped by.
