Mick Moloney holds forth.
A visit from an old friend brought out Irish traditional music fans from all over the place Saturday night.
Mick Moloney, joined by the energetic fiddler Athena Tergis and the superb box player Billy McComiskey, played to a huge crowd in the Philadelphia Irish Center’s Fireside Room. They were the guests of the Philadelphia Ceili Group.
Mick himself had spent a good part of the afternoon holding forth on the Music of the West, a major theme for the Ceili Group this year and into the next. The concert was just a continuation of that theme.
We’ve a few photos from that night, and a neat little video.
