Dear Friends and Fans of Celtic Music,
Summer Greetings All! It was a blast to see so many familiar faces at the Penn-Mar Irish Fest and the Celtic Fling. A special shout-out goes to all our new friends from the Greenville Scottish Games!
Today, we are thrilled to announce some new venues added to our 2016 calendar, as well as many beloved favorites. Grab some iced tea and mark in those dates!
2017 will bring some changes, with the band booking more selective, limited engagements. While all the members are commited to continuing Burning Bridget Cleary's musical venture, everyone's life committments continue to bloom and grow. (Yep, that's from "Edelweiss"!)
Rose will be completing her Master's Degree and launching a parallel career in counseling. House of Hamill, her musical duo with Brian Buchanan, will continue as a part-time project. They are writing, producing, and releasing a new CD, entitled "Wide Awake" - due out in September.
Amy continues to augment her teacher's portfolio by pursuing ever higher-level certifications. She also plays music with her boyfriend, Max and many other musicians in the NY area. They will often be found on Monday nights from fall to spring at the Iona Scottish Sessions in Brooklyn.
And the guys? Pete's family and drum business continue to grow. You may be surprised to learn that Pete is a busy drummer outside of our BBC family. And Lou - well, he becomes more of a devoted pizza and pistachio connoisseur every year. It's an all-consuming business!
We would not be here without YOU, our lovely friends and fans, familiar faces and sweet newbies. We are deeply grateful for your love, encouragement and support for the past 10 1/2 years!
We look forward to seeing your smiling faces soon.
