Along with quilting and embroidery I also like to play Irish music. I play the Irish drum called a bodhran
(dh is silent) and have two regular gigs with friends.
One will start again this fall in Bloomington, IL on Monday nights at an Italian Restaurant
- The Lucca Grill. Yes I know sounds a bit strange -- Irish music/pizza parlor -- however they do serve Guinness which
explains a lot. We Start about 7:30, so if you're in the Bloomington area, stop by, have a pizza and enjoy some music.
I also belong to the Murphy Roche Irish Music Club and if you go to their web site you can see an appliequed/embroidered
banner I made for the club.
We are homeless no more! You can come out and join us for the summer on Sunday's in Bolingbrook, IL at the
Auld Dubliner Irish Pub which is located in the Promanade Center just west of 355 & Boughton Rd. right across
the street from the Barnes & Noble. We begin playing at 2:00 and play until about 4:00.
This is a great group of people and we also have two CD's of traditional Irish Music.
We perform as a group and sometimes in small groups in the Chicago and Pontiac area at various events.
