For all the Maryland/DC/Virginia folks reading this (and
anyone else who'll be passing through at the right times):
The Homespun Ceilidh
Band is performing at the
Washington Folk Festival
this weekend, the
Potomac Celtic Festival
next weekend, and as part of the
Fete de la Musique DC
the weekend after that.
The
Washington Folk Festival
is Saturday, 2004-06-05 and Sunday, 2004-06-06 at Glen Echo Park in
Glen Echo, Maryland (near Chevy Chase). We're playing
tomorrow, 2004-06-05, 16:15-17:00, on the Cuddle-Up
Stage. If you haven't been to this festival before, it's
a pretty wide-ranging sampling of ethnicities and genres with
performances on seven stages throughout the day. In addition to
performances, they usually have dance classes teaching various
ethnic styles. (Oooh,
Fynesound will be there as well, and they'll finish up early
enough for me to get over to our stage. Groovy!)
The
Potomac Celtic Festival
is Saturday, 2004-06-12 and Sunday, 2004-06-13, at Morven Park's
International Equestrian Center in Leesburg, Virginia. We are
performing both days:
- Saturday, 2004-06-12, 13:00-13:45
on the Grove Stage
- Saturday, 2004-06-12, 18:30-19:00
on the Barnaby Stage
- Sunday, 2004-06-13, 13:30-14:15
on the Grove Stage
- Sunday, 2004-06-13, 15:45-16:30
on the Barnaby Stage
Note the different times on the different days. Also note that
for all I know they might revise the schedule again between now and
then, so check their web site late next week. Finally, note that
local favourites Elke Baker, Maggie Sansone, Mac-Talla, the
Potomac Valley
Scottish Fiddle Club, Tinsmith, and a whole bunch of other acts
will be there, so plan to make a long day of being entertained by
folks you may know, in addition to the
headliners
from far-flung places. Just don't forget to make your way over to
the Grove and Barnaby stages at the right times to catch us.
(
puzzledance, will you be performing there this year?)
N.b.: Yes, this means that I am busy both days of
Conterpoint.
I plan to be at the convention in the evenings, however. And
I expect to be very, very tired.
The
Fete de la Musique DC
runs from 2004-06-18 through 2004-06-21 at venues scattered
around Washington, DC (at any given hour there'll be several
performances going on at different sites -- the schedule is
a 32 page PDF). We're performing on Saturday, 2004-06-19
from 16:00 to 18:00 at Finn MacCool's, 713 8th St., SE.
Other LJ folks who'll be [ performing / working / doing living-history
demos / vending / whatever ] at PCF and WFF, post a comment here,
eh?
