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!

Celtic Crossing goes all out for its 5th birthday!
Thanks to Kristi for the information! They start with a Scotch Tasting on Thursday, June 3 at 7 PM. Then, on Friday night, they have an old fashioned open seisiun beginning at 7 PM.
Saturday is OYSTERFEST, with local acts The Reel McCoys at 11:30 AM, Bob and Susie Salley at 2:30 PM, and the headlining act, THE PRODIGALS come on at 5:30 PM. Cornfed Mafia will come in at 10 PM to take you into the night.
Then, come on back on Sunday for a family-friendly brunch with Bob & Susie Salley and traditional Irish dancing (I think Memphis' own Inis Acla School may be involved here!)
Come on out for the 5th birthday of Celtic Crossing!
Mairtin de Cogain gives Jackson, MS a Night of Irish Stories
Valerie sends us the following news from the CHS:
A NIGHT OF IRISH STORIES
(JACKSON, MS) Irishman Máirtín de Cógáin is coming to Jackson to tell stories old and new from his native Ireland. Few could be more qualified to do so -- Máirtín (say Mar-teen) is a two time All-Ireland winner in storytelling.
A native of the rebel County Cork, Máirtín is also a noted singer, drum player (the Irish bodhrán), and céilí/set dancer. His work can be seen with Co. Cork’s The Fuchsia Band, and more recently Captain Mackey’s Goatskin and Stringband with Jimmy Crowley, and the brand new Máirtín de Cógáin Project, who will be releasing a new CD this summer.
As if there weren’t any limits to his talents, Máirtín is an up-and-coming-actor, with a significant role in the 2006 Cannes Palm d’ Or winner, The Wind that Shakes the Barley. Additionally, Máirtín is bilingual, speaking both English and the Irish language (also known as Irish Gaelic).
This will be a special night featuring the art of storytelling, a little introduction to the Irish language, and a wee bit of music for good measure. Be sure to catch this special Jackson performance!
Covenant Presbyterian Church is providing the space for this event free of charge, and all proceeds for the event go to the artist.
The Celtic Heritage Society is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with the mission of promoting and preserving Celtic arts and culture in Mississippi and the region. Membership and participation in CHS events is open to all.

Wow, Brian McNeill is coming to Jackson, MS April 24!
So says our friend Valerie Plested with this Facebook entry.
The legendary fiddler, songwriter and author will play Fenian's at 7 PM on April 24 to what I suspect will be a packed house, because, (you'd better sit down for this) IT'S FREE!!!!!!!
Yes, you'd better get there early because it will be crowded. This is only the man who founded the Battlefield Band, and who wrote such brilliant songs at Any Mick Will Do, The Prince of Darkness and so many others that I can't even count.
DO NOT MISS THIS!
