Do You Know What's Been Going On Here?

It’s almost impossible to believe that half a year has passed since our last update.

We traveled to over a dozen new towns since April and made countless new friends along the way - it was wonderful to see your faces, both new friends and old. A thousand thanks to all of you who came out to our shows over the spring, summer and fall!

Without further ado, let’s get you up to date.

Did you notice a new face? Yes, Deirdre gave her notice last spring, after landing a full time career job. We are very grateful for the two years she shared her talents with BBC and we wish her every happiness and success in the future. We know she'll continue to do great things!

Since September, fiddler/vocalist, Amy Beshara, has been featured regularly with us. Amy is an integral player in the Scottish fiddle circle of NYC and an established music teacher in the Montclair, NJ area. We are delighted to have found her after an extensive search - we have Pete to thank! If you have not yet met Amy, we can’t wait to introduce her.

Lancaster area fans, it's your weekend!
