The Fuchsia Band Concert
The concert featuring the Fuchsia Band was a great success -- the musicians were in great form, and Mississippi finally heard the full four-piece. The fourth Fuchsia, Mick Heffernan, always misssed CelticFest due to work constraints back home. Owing to confusing promotion of the concert's start time, Jim Flanagan of Hattiesburg (via Ballyvourney, Co. Cork) agreed to provide some Cork music to accommodate the early and late arrivals alike. The concert was underway in earnest , even if it was 'ten minutes too late'. Friday night wasn't the end of the Fuchsia weekend, however.... Máirtín conducted an hour-long set dancing workshop of Cork's dances to as many people as we've ever seen packed on Fenian's dance floor. Fuchsialand's Brian McGillicuddy, and locals Don Penzien, and Bill Rogers toughed it out as the main musicians of the afternoon, while the rest of the Fuchialanders became dancers for the day. The CHS wishes to thank their fellow sponsors for this event: Wine & Spirits in the Quarter, Fenians Pub, the World's Finest Food, Concert Recording, the Jackson Irish Dancers, and Carroll Lighting.
