Celtic music at Folklife

Some of you asked for this, so here it is! A summary of the Celtic oriented groups playing at Folklife. Some of my favorites are in bold below. You can learn more yourself via their webpage: http://www.nwfolklife.org/P_F/Schedule.html. They have it sorted by style of music (although not every group is included in this), day & time, and performer's name; as well as a search function if you're looking for someone specific. Hardcopy schedules should be out in THE WEEKLY next week, and will be available onsite. The festival is free, although donations are strongly encouraged. It's at the Seattle Center, and runs from 11am to Midnight.

I will be there nearly all weekend, so I hope to see you around!
