The first Burns Night Columbia went off
pretty darn smoothly, considering it was a first
attempt. Lots of kudos to Art and Amanda Smith
for a well organized, executed and fun event!
Thanks to all who attended, cooked, served and
entertained! Well done. I hope we do it again
next year. The Natalie McMaster concert on
Monday at Jesse Hall was a wonderful exhibition
of Natalie's Olympic-class fiddling and Cape
Breton style music, plus a potpourri of other
styles and genres featuring her very talented
band members. I am greatly enjoying the CD I
picked up by Mack Morin, Cape Breton pianist.
I'll have to loan it to Carol to play on her
radio show. Thanks to the MU Concert Series for
bringing Natalie and her band to town!
Fun evening of dancing and music tonight!
Join us for an evening of Irish and Scottish
social dancing. No experience and no partner
needed. Please bring clean, soft-soled shoes to
wear for dancing so we don't damage the great
wood floor.
All ages are welcome. When we say "no
experience necessary" we really mean it. Come on
out!

Irish music, dance and song revue
Legend, folklore and enchantment are interwoven in a
voyage of discovery without falling into the trap of
sentimentality. That's not to deny that some passages
make the hairs on the nape of the neck rise... The Magic
of Ireland troupe's adaptation echoes the past as the
dancers seem to fly across the stage to the beat of the
bodhron and the soaring notes of the fiddle. Great
music, dancing and singing by performers of zipping
quality and enthusiasm make you want to clap in time -
which a full house soon cottoned on to. Magic exports
happily over the Irish Sea."
- Tony Heath, April 15 '05 Brecon, South Wales
Note from Kate: I can't actually find a list
of WHO is performing in this show, but it looks to
include some fairly good dancing and music. Here is a
video of them performing a figure of a set dance to
polkas:

March 15 -- Scottish singer Andy M. Stewart and Irish
singer/songwriter and guitarist Gerry O'Beirne
 Andy
M. Stewart is one of the finest traditional singers you
will find anywhere, and an engaging, humorous
entertainer. Gerry O'Beirne is a master artist on both
the 6- and 12-string guitars and a wonderful
singer/songwriter as well. Their concerts are
stick-to-your-ribs soul-satisfying enjoyment.
Look and listen!
