The So Cal Tionól this year will take place over Halloween weekend, October 31 to November 2. Our guests will be Lúnasa piper and whistler Cillian Vallely and Patrick D’Arcy. Michael O’Donovan on reeds. We look forward to seeing you there!
I’ll drink to that!
Thanks for the heads-up!
I wasn’t able to attend last time.
It’s one of those inexplicable things: seems like every time the Tionol comes around I happen to get a slate of gigs that Saturday. Several times I’ve been able to attend the Friday night meet-and-greet only (which is fantastic in and of itself!)
There have been years when I showed up late, still in kilts, having just come from a gig. No gigs yet! I’m good!
BTW Friday night is Halloween. Still doing the meet-and-greet that night? Do we wear costumes? Take turns giving out candy at Gabe’s door?
And Saturday is All Saints’ Day.
Yes on all counts Richard 
I just booked a room at he Best western in San Juan Capistrano on Hotwire for only $61.00 per night. On Hotwire search for hotels in San Juan capistrano, Ca
I’m looking forward to seeing who ever can make it.
It s going to be another GREAT Tionol:)

Wish I could make it this year but blew the bank on Northeast. Next year I hope, but here’s hoping all my great SOCAL friends have a wonderful tionól!
hello all,
Sorry I won’t be making it to the Tionol this weekend either. Would have loved to finally meet Cillian (I’m a BIG Lunasa fan), but it’s my daughters 4th birthday today and the party is Saturday. However, she is totally worth it and I would change my plans for anything.
Have a pint for me and have a blast. all the best!!!
