Too bad I didn't know about that Irish Fair.
I had a gig in Long Beach on Saturday which was done before noon, I could have got over there.
I had to work Sunday.
How many years has an Irish Fair in El Dorado Park been going on? This was the first I've heard of it.
I've been going to the Irish Fair since the late 1970s. The venue has changed many times over the years. Our band used to play at it every year, back in the 1980s.
OK I just Googled and found this
http://www.irishfair.org/#!about/c188uI well remember the Devonshire Downs, Rose Bowl, Equestrian Centre, Santa Anita Racetrack, and Irvine locations. It was while the event was at the racetrack that our band decided to stop playing there, due to Terry Anderson personally taking over the booking of the bands, and requiring us to play 45 minute sets, with only 15 minutes in between sets, each set being on a different stage, twice as much playing as previously, but the money remaining the same. Thanks but no thanks.
So when did the name change from The Grand National Irish Faire to The BIG Irish Fair? (BIG is always in all caps for some reason.)
