what's on, where, when and who...
Please remember to contact venues to ensure events are taking place as advertised.
It was excellent fun playing at Spring Gate Winery (Harrisburg), Chambersburg Memorial
Park, Center Stage at Hershey Medical Center, the Meiserville Inn, Juniper Village in
Lebanon, York's Box Lunch Revue in Cherry Lane Park, the Baltimore Contradance and St.
Thomas Roaster Coffeehouse (Linglestown). My thanks to all the folk at those wonderful
venues, especially to Hank Imhof for setting things up at the Winery, Seamus who joined
us for a song at the Med Center and Miranda and everyone at the Meiserville Inn for
sorting things out! Thanks also to everyone who came along to hear us play - without you
we wouldn't be there! And my thanks to the Launies and Unbowed for the music and to
Henry for everything - the arranging, the schlepping, the accommodations, the
chauffeuring, the patience and the hanging about while I didn't feel too good!

shoes!

hardly wait to be back

An evening of Americana and Celtic music, some traditional songs, some contemporary and,
no doubt, a few originals, too. The beer here is exquisite, some of the best I've ever
tasted, and the food is pretty good, too! But what I love is the friendly, helpful
staff and the great atmosphere. We always seem to make new friends when we play here
