LA Irish Fair

On the west coast the LA Irish Fair took place on March 8th and 9th, and this intrepid blogger was there. Lots of sunshine, good Irish entertainment, vendors and family fun for the approx 20,000 people who attended the event. During it all I was fortunate enough to grab a beer with Steve and Paddy from Gaelic Storm. By the way, Gaelic Storm have a new fiddle player and she is smokin' (she plays the fiddle well too).
The event could have done with one more "name" band and they lose a point for the high food prices once inside the Fairplex venue (i'm guessing beer wasn't cheap either).
But having said that, the promoters of this event consistantly put on a very good Irish Music Festival that is well worth a visit. They scored a very credible 8 out of 10. Well done LA.
If you were there post a comment and let us know what you thought of the LA Irish Fair.

Shamrock Fest

Well guys, Shamrock Fest is coming up on Saturday March 15th at the RFK stadium in Washington DC. Tommy Lee (yes that Tommy Lee) will be acting as DJ on one of the 11 stages set up for what promises to be one of the biggest St Patrick's day parties on the East coast. Let us know what you have to say about this event.
