Lunasa is currently touring the United States.
They are currently here in Colorado, having performed in Lafayette (between Boulder and Denver) on Monday evening, 2 September.

They are an incredible band - and my mere words cannot describe how they lifted the roof off the performance hall last night.

An added bonus was that most of the gang provided workshops in private homes on the afternoon before the concert.

It was my first opportunity in some time to have a lesson, and the first time to meet Cillian Vallely.

He is both an outstanding piper and teacher. (And the Froment D set that he owns is the most balanced and sweetest sounding concert set I've ever heard)!

Also, Cillian will have a debut CD coming out in a couple of weeks' time. Cillian's brother Niall is also on the CD playing concertina. It's not to be missed!

If Lunasa is anywhere near your location, do not miss their performance, and get a workshop if at all possible.

Check their schedule at http://www.Lunasa.ie

All the best,
Brian

The Lunasa web site is a great site but the tour information is limited. For a view of all their stops from August through March try this one:

The list is too long to paste on this page.
