Celtic News!

We've just finished our big March rush with seven performances in just over a week! Nothing against any of the other gigs which we absolutely enjoyed, but everyone especially loved the evening performance at Victor Intermediate School. There's something about having a crowd in the hundreds and being asked for your autograph afterward...

Tomorrow we begin a new era with our program as we start a second group, gearing up for next year, while the current group continues. This is far from "Celtic Junior" as we had a few years ago... rather, we are preparing to hit the ground running next year and I believe that the two groups--Celtic Senior and Celtic-of-the-Future (insert SciFi sound effect)--will be evenly matched by the end of this school year...

Special thanks to The Irish Musicians Association of Rochester, who wanted to do something special for the kids in appreciation of our partnership in bringing Teada here in December; we all went to the Cheesecake Factory for a well-deserved feast to celebrate the end of March!

Our YouTube and MySpace pages are up and running, and we now have recordings of newly introduced music on the website for students to practice with and learn from.
