Celtic Music in Texas
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Farewell to Tommy Makem, Nov. 04, 1932 to Aug. 01, 2007
2. This in from Mark Stone:
As you know, our good friend and one of the kindest men in the world,
Jerry Holland, has been stricken with kidney/bone cancer. There is a
fund set up to raise money to pay any medical bills and replace lost
income, as Jerry's sole source of money is his music. Jerry has been
kind enough to send me 6 CDs that he signed. I am selling them for $50
each to raise money for the jerryhollandfund.org. I'm asking each of
you to PLEASE put a note on your websites pointing to mine,
www.markstonemusic.com, to ask your fans to buy one of these CDs. Can
you get them cheaper? Sure....But by doing it this way, you're helping
out Jerry. I will pay the shipping to anywhere in the world. The
entire $50 will go directly to Jerry.
BANDS ON THE ROAD:
Killdares: Austin 8/18
Tullamore: Dallas 8/10-11

Celtic Song Session
Things Celtic
1806 W. 35th Street
(just east of Mopac, on the north side of the street)
Austin, TX
512-472-CELT
2:30 - 5 PM
The space is outdoors but sheltered (though sometimes we can sing
inside).
Please bring a folding chair as seating is limited. Also, bring some
water or a non-alcoholic beverage to wet your whistle. Please kindly
observe the no-smoking policy for the benefit of the singers.
Everyone who comes will have a chance to sing. Any song that is Irish,
Scottish, or otherwise Celtic will do. Songs tend to be solo
round-robin, but singalongs are great too. A cappella singing is
preferred in the Irish tradition. Just bring your voice. You may also
bring a guitar or other instrument if you prefer to accompany
yourself.
