Kitchen Céilí: Irish, Scottish, American and East Indian Folk Music
Middletown House Concert Series, 145 Margarite Rd. Ext., Middletown, CT
Kitchen (kich-en) n: a room for the preparation of food Céilí (kay-lee) n: an informal gathering for music, dance, stories, and song As their name implies, the Irish/New England band Kitchen Céilí aims to serve up healthy portions of spirited tunes and songs in an atmosphere of unpretentious good humor. Their repertoire includes the driving reels and lilting jigs and hornpipes one would find in an Irish pub session, as well as stately waltzes, slow airs, and old and new songs of emigrants, soldiers, lovers, lawyers and computer programmers from both sides of the Atlantic. The band features George Wilson on fiddle, banjo and vocals, Dora Hast on tin whistle and recorders, and Stan Scott on guitar, mandolin, banjo, and vocals For reservations and directions, please call Jody Cormack 860-983-7963 or email jcormack@wesleyan.edu
