Happy Thanksgiving week to all of you, friends of Celtic Music Night at St Andrew!
I hope you have all been well since the last Music Night, which now seems ages ago… But whatever the state of affairs in your world, take a moment, be thankful, and come enjoy some Celtic Music this week! (…before the mayhem in kitchen, around the house, or on the road ensues later this week….)
— I look forward to catching up with you in Aptos!
Now to the musical happening of the week, as promised, The Winter Series of Celtic Music Night at St Andrew comes to a crescendo This Tuesday night in Aptos– I sure hope you can come enjoy!!! Spread the word…. TOMORROW NIGHT!!
THIS Tuesday November 24th, at 7pm (TOMORROW NIGHT)–featuring:
David Brewer (piper, Celtic multi-instrumentalist from Molly’s Revenge, and The Fire) — Performing traditional and modern tunes with various bagpipes, penny-whistles, and more.. “David Brewer is a multi-instrumentalist who has toured with the Scottish super-group The Old Blind Dogs, Molly’s Revenge, & The Fire Scottish bands across the US, the UK, Canada, China, and Australia. He has been a special guest of the six-time Grammy winning group The Chieftains, and was a key musician for the sound track of the PBS documentary, “Andrew Jackson, Good, Evil, and the Presidency”. David, who is known for being animated and engaging on stage, compliments Rebecca’s award winning fiddling with guitar, Irish penny-whistle, and bodhran frame-drum, but primarily the Scottish bagpipes, on which he is unarguably one of the most energetic and charismatic performers of the instrument in the world today.
