L.A. Irish Fair

[Moosehead]

Anyone happen to run into The O'Brien, Lord Inchiquin? (one of my Chiefs).

Hey Zz, Cameron, which guys were you?

I stopped by the UK booth several times on Sat and Sun to talk to Scott and Wolf.

Saturday I was wearing my SWK Nightstalker (and usually a grey sweatshirt and booney hat)
Sunday I was in my Choc Workmans, with the green SAAA shirt for the LA Irish Fair and a brown sweater underneath it.

I was wearing a green camo UK, dark green shirt, and light grey coat. Was only there Sunday. I do remember seeing someone hanging out in the area around the UK booth in a choc workman's, looked well worn. I only hung out at the booth for about an hour at a time.

You have a red goatee right? I remember you, you had to leave shortly after I got there. I wish I knew it was you then.

Well met, and nice to meet you. I'm sure we'll run into each other at another one of these shows. You had a good look going with your kilt too, keep it up.

I had a bright green Irish National, a black Ravens t-shirt and a black splint around my right hand (still do in fact).
I was around the stage in front of UK for Maria Butterly's 4pm-ish set (glad she forgot I owe her a dance) and she was playing with Patric from Skelpin (the long red-haired barefoot fiddler).

My wife and I were there but mainly to walk around and see the sights and admire the crafts. I was the ONLY one wearing a Deerstalker hat at the entire fair, I almost pulled a muscle patting myself on the back...LOL!

Was Sally's Gap there this year? I had been hoping to find out who the fiddle player they had last year was. She blew me away!!

No Sally's Gap but the Warsaw Poland Bros. will be at Francies in Corona on April 15th with my ugly twin brother Eamonn doing alternating sets.
WPB is the Sally's Gap gang without the loudmouth older gent and they are worth braving the wild and untamed 91 freeway to get to.


CT - Eamonn's fiddler is Rose Rogers but she's only a young'un at 14.

Thanks, I'll think about it. Do they do the same kind of music?

Nope, this girl seemed to be 18 - 20ish. Not only was she very pretty, but she played like the fiddle was an extension of her body. She never stopped dancing while she played, never broke a sweat doing it, kept grinning like she had never had so much fun as she was having right then, and lord was she talented; even my wife was impressed (meaning: by more than her looks ).

[CameronTaylor]

I remember a fiddler they had but the last time I saw them she wasn't with them but that doesn't mean she won't be. They still do all the regular and some ska based tunes. Francie's ain't a big place but for an Irish roadhouse biker bar sort of a place it's not bad.
Hopefully Eamonn won't ask me to assault the crowd with Fileds of Athenry like I did at the sexy kilt contest sunday ....

Definately one of my favorite songs. I like American Wakes version more than the punk renditions I hear a lot, and more than the really folksy versions too.
