Very happy that I will finally get to see them in person this Friday. (Aug. 12) Should be a great evening and the Boulder Theater is a great location.
Any other C&F folks going? I understand there are still tickets available.
Thanks for posting this. I just got back from the box office.
You guessed it…
OBLIGATORY POST!
You will not regret seeing them, I promise! 
Yep, it was a lot of fun. Even though I bought my ticket two days before the show, I got a front row seat. It probably helps that I only needed one. The stage was close enough to touch, but the dancers were slightly unnerving!
They played a very nice variety of tunes without a break for an hour and 45 minutes.
Joanie Madden is something to watch playing flute and whistle. Lots of energy despite our shortage of Oxygen here. I’ve never seen or heard a Bohm flute played that way!
She played soprano and alto Bohm flutes, and whistles by Mike Burke and Pat O’riorden. I didn’t recognise the whistles, I asked afterwords. The whole group was very gracious meeting with people and signing autographs.
A great evening.
Mary and the group had a rough trip home from that event.
Their was a rock slide that stopped all traffic and had to be cleared so the group missed their Flight. The were getting booked onto another flight but when Mary got to the ticket counter the agent was in tears from the pressure of so many people and had to be removed. Mary missed the flight with the rest of the band because she could not check in. She then had to fly standby with 4 pieces of luggage.
She arrived back in New York on Monday at 5pm and had a guitar class with my group at 7:30pm.
As usual Mary handled it all with grace and an up beat sprit. Somehow she even had time to arrange to have Jim Coogan and Cathy Lodlow met her at the class. Jim on Box and Kathy on Fiddle played some of the tunes we have been working on and backed them up on a series of different strum patterns, alternating base. One tune the "1000 pipers we played from a waltz tempo and switched up to a jig tempo. (Apparently something Jim like to do when playing for dancers at ceili’s) and then Kathy graced us with one of her excellent songs.
We all amazed at a wonderful night and a great class.

This was my favorite so far of the many shows I have seen. We didn’t know Triona was traveling with them and were tickled to have the opportunity to see her as well.
Some kind of funny stuff happened at the show. A women we met once years ago in Houston had moved to Colorado and came up and talked with us. Also I saw a guy handing out flyers for an Ed Miller show - and not only was I to see Ed the next day at Rocky Mountain Fiddle camp, the guy with the flyers was the luthier who gave Mary the bouzouki!
More on fiddle camp in another post.
