BB'S "NEWS,
NOTES, AND COMMENT"
AREA #####
= Some of you might recall a young lady named Vanessa Millar, a fine accordion player who spent some time in this area a few years back. I'm pleased to advise that she took First Place in senior accordion at the All-Ireland this past August - a tremendous accomplishment given the high standards of playing in such a prestigious competition. I offered her congratulations on behalf of all her Cape Cod friends and told her I hoped we'd be seeing her back her again soon.
= Our Cape Cod Ceili Weekend IX was a big success. My sincere thanks to the musicians, dance callers, dancers and hotel management and staff who made it all possible! (I'll have a page with pictures available shortly.)
= The John Whelan house concert at Dinah Mellin's was also a big success, with John at his usual charming best and playing well as always. It was fun for me to be able to perform with him again after many years!
= February 13, Monday, 7:00 pm: John Yankee & myself in the third "Mostly Strings" concert at the West Falmouth Public Library. General admission $12, kids/seniors $8. If you enjoyed the first two shows, be warned - this is more of the same, only better!

= March 11, Sunday, 2 pm: "Traditional Tribute to Saint Patrick" show at the Cotuit Center for the Arts featuring harpist-singer Maeve Gilchrist, fiddle virtuoso Seamus Connolly, traditional singers Maureen & Jerry McNally, trad band Carraroe, the Cape Tradition session group, and MC Kenny McGilvray. Tickets $20 (kids under 12 free). Click here for a fridge flyer.
= March 16, Friday, 7:00 pm: Carraroe in concert at the Irish Cultural Center; details to follow.
