NEWS, COMMENTS, OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF
(in no particular order)
GOLDEN LANE
= = = = = = = = =
Our current concert season ended on Sunday March 15th with a great show
at the beautiful Highfield Hall in Falmouth. We were graced with the
presence of the Maureen Haley Dancers (and with a lovely afternoon
weather-wise).
A YouTube of the afternoon
is linked to our home page. As of now, it's the complete unedited show,
but I'm sure most of you know how to skip over the less interesting
parts (i.e. me, talking).
A huge thanks to our son Tedd for playing the role of videographer for us!
CAT'S MELODEON

exactly warm but at least it was dry! We had a great turnout (Don,
Cindy, Martha, Don G, Séamus, Pat, Diane, Dave L, John Mac, John A).

There's so much going on in the South Coast area that I've decided to provide a
link to the happenings. Click on "South Coast Activities" above and wait for the magic to start!
Thanks to Colin Everett and his "fellow musicians" for doing such a
great job of putting together a vibrant trad scene in the area between
the Cape and Providence.
IRISH CULTURAL CENTER
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The ICC in Canton is offering some very nice traditional programs - if you're interested you might want to check their website.
They also have the Friday evening session that's been running for a good
number of years (I ran it for a few years quite a while back). It's an
open session and John, Eamonn, and co. are very welcoming, so check it
out if you need some tunes on a Friday.
THANKS AND THANKS AGAIN
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
. . . to our Cat's Melodeon musicians, through whose efforts at the Auld
