"Golden Lane" is a group of musicians from the SE New England area who specialize in
performing the lively dance music of Ireland (jigs, reels, etc.)
 in a traditional style. They also perform songs (in English and Gaelic).
The band is serious about the music but they have a lot of fun performing it!

The group's performances are always "family-friendly" and interaction with the
audience (e.g. questions about the music or the instruments, kids dancing,
clapping/foot-tapping, Grandpa Eddie's never-to-be-forgotten version of "Danny Boy")
is (mostly) welcome.

Past performances:
library gigs throughout SE New England
HyLine Canal Cruises (5 years)
New Bedford Folk Festival
 TD Bank Concert Series in Falmouth
St. John's "Summer Breeze" concert in Sandwich
First Night Sandwich
New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center

Out of respect for the music and for their audience demographic,
the group avoids the indoor use of amplification wherever possible.
