I know it's a bit early for the celebration, but since I'm on vacation for a week, I won't be around that much... :) Thus, I want to wish everybody celebrating it, a great Thanksgiving holiday!
Bengal.
Greetings, everyone,
It is with great pleasure that John Parkinson and I invite everyone to join us for a house concert/Christmas party with Genticorum.
This is open especially to Morris people, but also to friends and fellow lovers of traditional music. We propose a pot luck supper (6 p.m.) followed by a wonderful concert with Genticorum (8 p.m.), and then a session for all those who play music and/or sing. Please bring a pot of whatever food you make that is good to share, and bring your own beverages of a sociable nature.
Date: Friday, December 12th
Time: Please arrive any time after 6 p.m., Concert begins at 8.
Place: Parky and Sydney's log home near Shelburne
Cost: $20 per person - all proceeds go to Genticorum - let's help them have a fine Christmas.
Please email me to reserve your spot. We have a good number of seats available, but they will very likely be reserved in no time. Once we are full, that's it.
If you've not had the pleasure of hearing Genticorum before, please check them out at their website. Pascal Gemme (fiddle & feet), Alex de Grosbois Garand (flute, bass) and Yann Falquet (guitar, jew's harp) do an absolutely fabulous concert of both original and traditional music, and have developed a following all around the world. Genticorum finished their third CD earlier this year, to critical acclaim. (Their second CD actually got nominated for a Juno Award.) Their three part harmonies on their wonderful traditional call and response songs will blow you away.
So, please email me at wjeg at 3web.net to reserve spots - please indicate how many tickets you need. (You can pay when you arrive at the party.) Once you have reserved, I will send you driving directions.
Cheers!
Elizabeth Szekeres

[PT] Depois de um ano de 2008 com mais de 35 concertos dados, dentro e fora de Portugal, e não tocando em Lisboa desde Julho deste ano, os Dazkarieh decidiram terminar a sua tournée na mítica Galeria Zé dos Bois.
Com novo disco na forja aproveitam também para apresentar sua nova formação, com bateria, e muitos dos temas que serão incluídos no seu 4º trabalho de estúdio que será lançado no início de 2009. O concerto acontecerá no dia 5 de Dezembro, 23h e os bilhetes custam 6€. Enquanto o disco não sai, pode ouvir-se já um tema (ainda em versão demo) no MySpace da banda.
[EN] After a very good 2008 so far with more than 35 concerts, Dazkarieh decided to finish their tour in the mythic ZDB in Lisbon.
With a new album coming out soon, they will be performing with their new drummer some of the new songs. The concert will take place on December 5th, at 11 P. M. Tickets are selling for 6€. While the new album isn't out yet, listen to one of the new songs (still in demo version) on the band’s MySpace.
The Philadelphia Ceili Group will continue the celebration of their 50th anniversary by presenting the very popular show "Irish Christmas in America" to be held December 9th at 8pm at the Commodore Barry Club, Carpenter Lane and Emlen Street in West Mount Airy, Philadelphia.
Marking its fourth consecutive year of holiday performances, Irish Christmas in America will grace the stage of the Irish Center of Philadelphia on December 9th at 8pm for a heartwarming and entertaining presentation of seasonal cultural traditions from the Emerald Isle. Produced by Oisín Mac Diarmada of the award-winning traditional group Téada, the cast also includes one of Ireland's leading female vocalists, Karen Casey formally of the Irish "super group" Solas and Téada's Sean McElwain and Tristan Rosenstock on guitar and bodhran respectively. Acclaimed harpist Gráinne Hambly and uilleann piper Tommy Martin, along with dancers Abbey Magill and Sienna Hickey, round out the ensemble, which also features evocative images and engaging narrative.
Mingling ancient traditions with the contemporary artistry of some of Ireland's finest performers, the enchanting show brings the spirit of Christmas on a distinctively Irish journey throughout America.
Further info on show here.
Tickets are $25 and $23 for Group members at the door on the night of the concert. Advance tickets are available at the Commodore Barry Club.
Commodore Barry Club: (215) 843-8051, (215) 248-0502.

Hello, all!
During these past 3 years I've been discovering more and more curious instruments from other cultures or other origins in time. It's always exciting to discover a new quality of sound, a new rhythm, a new musical instrument. So... I decided to bring to you all a group of entries on these instruments. I'm not the one posting (I wish I was the expert on them all!) but an artist more involved and knowledgeable on the instrument will do it. I've been talking to a group of people and if you have suggestions or want to participate, please, send me an email. Just click the link "my complete profile" in the left of the website and you can find it.
Thanks for your visit and your patience with my absences from time to time...
Bengal.
