Bumbershoot, Caupercaille, & More

Let's see if I can do this in chronological order given the number of pieces of paper scattered around my desk.

CUNLA = A local group that plays fairly traditional Irish music with some good energy. Sat 8/29. Old Town Alehouse 5233 Ballard Avenue NW; Seattle.  (This is a non-smoking pub a few doors north of the Tractor Tavern; food is served.)

CELTIC GROUPS AT BUMBERSHOOT = Sept 4-7, 1998. Seattle Center. Last year tickets were $10 for one day, and a bit more for the entire weekend. The entire schedule is available at 206-281-8111, or check the Seattle Weekly or the daily paper next week.
-- Paperboys 5:45pm Friday.

• Jethro Tull with Ian Anderson on flute 3:45 Saturday.
• La Bottine Souriante from Celtic Quebec 3:45 Sunday.
• Battlefield Band 6:30pm Sunday
• Joan Baez 9pm Sun & 6:30pm Mon.

MARITIME CONCERT SERIES = All shows are Sat 8-10pm on the historic 3 masted schooner Wawona at the south end of Lake Union. Tickets are $8 general; $5 kids, seniors, & members; proceeds to the musicians and the restoration project. 206-447-9800. Sept 18 is John Sparrow & Shifty Sailors. Oct 10th is Broadside & Morgan Segal. For maritime oriented music in between these shows, check out the Fiddler's Inn in the Wedgewood neighborhood of Seattle, where a lot of this type of local crowd hangs out.

CAUPERCAILLE = A fantastic, lively, modern-ish Scottish group is returning to the Tractor on 9/22. I strongly recommed coming and checking them out!

STAY TUNED = As soon as I have a bit of spare time <insert hysterical laughter here>, I'll update my complete Celtic Directory and repost it for all of your listening pleasure. In the meanwhile, call Galway Traders at 206-784-7343 for info on the "Celtic Calendar"; the Tractor Tavern's concertline 206-789-3599; or Dusty Strings 206-634-1656for even more info.

Keep Dancing!
