The Lads at O’Flaherty Retreat

This year, the band attended O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat for the very first time. What a treat! Four days of concerts, classes, late-night sessions, and camaraderie. Every meal had performances from various attendees, instructors, and ensembles, and the schedule was packed with activities (and not quite enough breaks)! Camp Hoblitzelle is a beautiful setting, and it felt downright magical to walk out of our room at any point and to hear musicians practicing, trading tunes, or playing impromptu sessions all around the campus.

In addition, Blair submitted his original song “3 Sheets to the Wind” and won first runner-up in the songwriting contest!

San Antonio Highland Games

The San Antonio Highland Games organizers have posted the schedule for the weekend; we’ll be playing sets on Saturday at noon, 3:00pm, and 5:00pm at various stages. Come on out for a great time! (And to see Sean wear a kilt for the first time in his life!)

No Fifth Sunday Show in December

Howdy friends! We’ll be skipping our usual fifth Sunday of the month show this time around, as it’s New Year’s Eve, and we’ll be spending it with our families and friends. But of course we’ll be at The Cottage on both December 17 and on January 7 per our usual schedule. See you soon!

Time Change for Tomorrow’s Show

Hey folks! In order to accommodate all you football fans out there, we’ll be playing from 4:00pm-7:00pm tomorrow at The Cottage so that you can see both the Nations League match and San Antonio’s favorite Irish Pub band all in one afternoon. Football is life!
