Warm Up

The Irish Fest pre-game show continued last night with a great performance by The Fuchsia B (that's three fourths of The Fuchsia Band) at the Mountain Music Shoppe. Máirtín, Eoin and Mick gave a rousing show in a slightly warm, slightly stuffy room to a sell out crowd. It was a vintage Fuchsia show, with the addition of Fionán Cogan's hysterical poetry read by his brother Máirtín. I heard rumors of a trip "Wesht the road" out to WJ McBride's to join Eddie Delahunt there afterwards, but sadly I wasn't able to make the session. If anybody was there, I'd love a craic report.

If you missed last night's show, you can catch the Cork boys once more nearby before they hit the road until Irish Fest. They'll be in Columbia, MO just 2 hours away, tomorrow night.
