When I first started this CapeIrishNews website a few years back, I decided to limit it to "local" activities (i.e. Cape Cod and the South Coast), realizing that trying to create anything comprehensive for the Greater Boston area was beyond my capabilities.
I'm happy to announce that someone has undertaken to do what I didn't: create a website for "Celtic" activities in the Boston area.
It's called the "Greater Boston Celtic Music Bulletin" and has a wealth of info on weekly happenings in the (wait for it) "Greater Boston" area (which includes the Cape).
It's a lot of work and I wish best of luck to Paul Graveline, the person in charge! (Contact him to sign up.)

REALTA in concert
= = = = = = = = = = =
Dinah Mellin at Brick Hill Concerts announces that this Belfast-based trad band will be appearing at her venue on Tuesday March 10th at 7 pm. Suggested donation is $20.
I don't know these folks but I like the idea of "new stars" in Irish trad music! (By the way, "réalta" is Gaelic for "stars" - why am I not surprised?)
Call for reservations and directions: 508-255-3864 or email chezdi@yahoo.com
CAPE COD CEILI WEEKEND XVII
Irish Village
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Another great ceili weekend in the books! Thanks to Kevin K, Pat R, Connie P, and Tara L for producing some excellent music, and to the Callahans, Eileen Dugal, and Jackie O'Riley for their dance contributions!
And thanks to the musicians who attended the fund-raising session for Project Bread. We are presently close to $1800. (And sorry I don't even know all your names.)
CAT'S MELODEON - Spring gigs
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I am pleased to announce that the Cats have been invited to participate in the Woods Hole Trad Stroll (May 2nd, 3 pm) and Falmouth Arts Alive (June 12, 2:30).
Venue for the Trad Stroll will probably be the usual Coffee O porch!

- If you have ever entertained the idea of becoming a bagpiper (and who hasn't?), now's your chance.
- The Cape's only Irish pipe band is looking for new members - no experience necessary!
- Click here for a flyer with more info. (And no, you don't have to look good in kilts.)
