Timlin and Kane: in Gettysburg this weekend.

Combine an historical excursion with some Irish music on Saturday by heading to the Adams County Irish Festival near Gettysburg. Local duo, the popular Timlin and Kane, will be performing, along with the Kilmaine Saints, Irishtown Road, and Across the Pond. You can also see the 69th Pennsylvania Volunteers re-enactors and head to the battlefields where the original 69th fought like the wild Irish legends they were.

If you’re in Wildwood, and we know so many of you are, catch Blackthorn at Fox Park on Saturday night.

Next Friday, The Shantys will be at Tir na NOg in Trenton with special guest Diarmuid McSweeney on banjo.

If you’re a Celtic supporter—the Celtic football team from Glasgow—and even if you’re not, there’s a kickoff party for the season on Sunday, July 26, hosted by the 2nd Street Plough Boys at The Plough and the Stars in Philly. Tim Mac Mathuna will be performing (then there’s a session afterward) and you can meet Celtic FC Youth Academy coaches Mick McCahill, Ross Hester, Liam Murphy, and Dylan Johnston.
