òran mór

We enjoyed the Féile Restaurant and Pub as the final performance spot on our music  marathon last  St. Patrick’s Day.

It was great fun then, and now we’ll get to enjoy at least one summer evening there:

Wednesday, July 21st

Starting at 7 PM

Directions: The Restaurant and Pub is right on Route 1 in Wells, Maine. just north of Route 9 and the Wells Exit (19) from Route 95.

We’ll hope to see you there!

After all our complaining about the  cold fall, winter, and spring – we best not have anything bad to say about these warm summer days.  It’s a great time on the seacoast and beyond.

We are enjoying every Monday night at the RiRa Pub in Portsmouth, and we have a few things brewing at other spots.

July 23rd we’ll be at Kate O’Shea’s in Seabrook, NH, from 7;30 – 10:30.

August 4th we host the session from 8:30 – 11:30 at Harrington’s Pub in Wakefield, MA

And we may have a few other surprises to post in the next few days.

Hope to see you over a cool pint before long…..

Reagh Greenleaf, of Wandering Tree Arts,  organized the music for this year’s Earth Day celebration at the Seacoast Science Center at Odiorn Point State Park in Rye, NH.  He invited a few of us local folk to join him under the tent and we had a great time  It was a beautiful Saturday morning.  After a race that ended on the point we — that would be Reagh, Bill Perry, Rocky Rockwood and I – started in on some tunes and songs.   Families and many energetic kids were about – so we had instant dancers.   I had a chance during the break to check out the latest exhibits at the Science Center.  That’s grown to quite a place, and a visit that I’d recommend when you are in the area.

Thanks again to Reagh for setting things up, and to Eva Powers for snapping these shots!

You probably  know that Terry Weir leads the Wednesday session at Harrington’s in Wakefield MA, and that we join him to become the trio “Sligo Road’ on many occasions, too.  

Terry is on vacation in warmer climes this week – and he has entrusted the Harrington’s Session to Pete and I.   One of  us told him ‘You can trust us” — while the other whispered “You’ll be sooooorrry”  (no need to tell you which was which).
Anyway – we have the reins there this Wednesday, the 21st.  If you happen to be around, or up for a little drive, we’d love to see you there.  We’ll be having a good time there from 8:30 to 11:30 – then trying to cover our tracks the best we can.

So there we were, minding our own business and enjoying a few tunes and songs at Eamon and Sue’s place … and we look up … and there in our mits [sic, as usual with my jokes] was this wild person… makin’ the guitar howl and sing, with a voice that rocked out the whole place, and with this hair that just shimmered green in the night light.

Who was that man? ….. now …. it *was* a man wasn’t it?…..
