Number 6

Next in line for our Top Ten Things Not To Miss At Irish Fest This Year:

Number 6: The Makem and Spain Brothers. Or Five Guys That Sound Like Twenty.

We were talking about traditional music the other day. For a lot of us, this is traditional music. The big, powerful Irish ballads sung by big voices and pushed along by driving instrumentals. This is the music a lot of us grew up with up, renewed for a new generation. There are precious few still doing it well, and you may have forgotten how great it is. The Makem and Spain boys are coming to town to remind you.

The Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem, The Dubliners...the torch is passed. Don't miss these boys.
