Boys of the Lough

Saturday, 3/14, 8:15 p.m., Spivey Hall, Clayton State University

From the Spivey Hall website: The first real Celtic folk group, boasts The Irish Times. "One of the finest bands in Celtic traditional music," proclaims The New York Times. When the Boys of the Lough return to Spivey Hall on Saturday, March 14, 2009, leading up to St. Patrick's Day, they bring their unique warmth and wit, expert musicianship, technical brilliance, lively tunes and clever yarns. The Boys have earned a loyal following through their spirited performances, acclaimed recordings and regular public radio appearances on A Prairie Home Companion. With their roots planted firmly in the heritage of the British Isles' Celtic regions, the Boys have remained true to their musical vision of traditional instrumentals complimented by occasional songs, winning them friends from the village halls of Scotland and Ireland to international concert and festival stages.

Have fun! If you find your pot of gold, save some for me, okay?
Dolcemente,
Lindsay
