Performance highlights: On his first U.S. tour, from Cape
Breton, Nova Scotia, Troy MacGillivray! Troy is one the
world's great young Celtic fiddlers who has been recorded
on no less than 15 CDs with 4 solo releases of precise
traditional Scottish Aires, Strathspeys, Jigs, and Reels.
Troy is also accomplished on the keyboards and step dances
well, a trait that seems universal in Cape Breton. Troy is
certain to please all the purists who have rare chances to
hear a fiddler of his caliber. http://www.troymacgillivray.com/

Returning for their 2nd appearance in Clear Lake, Needfire!
These guys are certain to jump start all the high-energy
Celtic music lovers who know the best when they hear it. If
you saw them last time, you know they are very upbeat to
say the least. Needfire has a contagious good time on stage
and many have been asking for a repeat performance.

these kids at the festival. Erin Cass has trained the most
talented and delightful troupe of dancers you'll see
anywhere. Always colorful and incredibly skilled, they'll
steal your heart, and the show. http://cassacademy.com/start.htm

I'm gonna have to see if I can make this one.

Edit: It looks like I'll be able to make it provided the weather holds up. It'd be good to meet up and put a name with a face.

I had a good time yesterday. Got to meet Zardoz and his wife, drink a few pints, take more than a few pictures, watch some caper tossing. All in all, it was fun. Looking forward to next years event, and next time I'll be kilted.
