Some Pix from Fuchsia Band at Celtic Crossing

They were awesome as usual, and they dedicated a song to Lauren, which I appreciated greatly.  Mairtin was on his game, as they all were.  Thanks as always to DJ for bringing them in and to Kristi for the heads up!

Fuchsia Band At Celtic Crossing Thursday, August 26

MOVED TO THE TOP

And here I was feeling bad because I couldn't go to Jackson to see them on August 21, and they will be here on August 26!  From Kristi Rogers of Celtic Crossing:

Hi Steve,
Just want to let you know that The Fuchsia Band will be playing at Celtic Crossing on Thursday, August 26th, at 8:30 pm.  Please post on your blogspot and pass around to as many people as you can.  I would like to get a good crowd in for them.


No problem with that, Kristi!!

Led by the magnificent Mairtin de Cogain, this will be their second visit to Celtic; the last one turned acoustic when the power went out on the west side of Cooper.  That won't be a problem this time!

No power? Who cares? The Fuchsia Band went acoustic!

Mairtin De Cogain & company prepare to play acoustic.

More preparation!


Getting started; they tried to run a cord and a mic, but it kept screeching.


They sounded marvelous, especially early as the crowd had not yet filled the patio.


Mairtin sings Dick Darby.

All in all, a lovely night, considering the west side of Cooper was out of power (the Crossing used generators) but the east side was up and running (the couple next to us, dismayed by the necessarily light menu of two sandwiches, a salad, a wrap and bruschetta, got beer but got take-out from Tsunami across the street).

Once the late-night crowd arrived, it became more difficult to hear but they soldiered through. Mairtin advised the crowd to check their website as a new album was going to be released next week. All in all, an awesome night despite all the obstacles!
