Past Engagements |
|
For the last couple of years we have been playing
St. Patrick's day at The Country Lounge in Hobart,
IN (3700 Montgomery Street, 219-942-6699). Nice folks, and a
nice old-fashioned place--cottage cheese and kidney beans all
around! |
|
For years there's been a session
at The Hidden Shamrock,
2723 N. Halsted in Chicago, on Sundays from 3-6:00pm. From time
to time we anchor it. |
|
Whether we're performing or not, we'd never miss the Milwaukee
Irish Fest ! |
|
Sometimes we play at The Abbey Pub - they have a session
on Sunday evenings.

Performed with the Chicago Academy of Irish Music
on the Petrillo bandshell at Chicago
Celtic Fest 2003. |
