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 is in Bloomington, IL on Monday nights at an Italian Restaurant. 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 each Tuesday in Bolingbrook, IL at the Auld Dubliner
Irish Pub. The pub is located in a shopping center just west of 355 & Boughton Rd. right across the street
from the Barnes & Noble. We begin playing at 7:00 and play until about 10:00.
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.
