Andrea Beaton & Nuala Kennedy, with Owen Marshall
George and Emily Keith's next house concert, coming up on Saturday, June 4th in Medford looks like it will be fantastic. I'll be sorry to miss this one, for sure.

Matt Cranitch and Jackie Daly in Medford, April 9, 2011
I've the tremendous good fortune to have fallen into the George and Emily Keith house-concert scene, these concerts offering as fine a combination of music and friends as can be found in the Boston area, I'd dare say, and last weekend's performance by Matt Cranitch and Jackie Daly - music from the Sliabh Luachra tradition - was no exception.
The Sliabh Luachra tradition has its origins in east County Kerry and northwest County Cork - to quote from the liner notes of Cranitch and Daly's new CD, The Living Stream, "...[The music of this region] became a byword for sweetness, subtlety, and beguiling rhythm..." (Living Stream is available at CD Baby, also at Ossian)
I also attended the fiddle workshop with Mr. Cranitch prior to the concert. It was a delight and an honor to have had instruction from and to have been in such close proximity to a fiddler as fine as he.
Adding Tina Lech and George Keith.
