Last night was our latest concert in the Barn Bar - the Mairtin de Cogain Project. Amazing trio of musicians. Believe it or not they met in Cork, Ireland, where Mairtin is a native. Norah Rendell, from Canada, who plays flute and whistle, and has a very sweet, beautiful voice and Brian Miller, Minnesota Native from Bemidji, who plays guitar, and bouzouki, both traveled to Cork, Ireland to study Irish music. They three found each other and the rest is history , i guess you can say.It was going to be a little scary, wondering if we could get the heat up on the barn to be tolerable since we awoke to the temp outside being about 3 degrees. But Bob did a great job and by then time we had about 40 people in there it was around 62 degrees (yes, comfortable for me because this is what we keep our house at) yet maybe not as comfortable for some. We had some new faces, and the cheer was contagious! The food was fabulous too! I really like this MN tradition of potluck. And yet have I seen the traditional Tater Nugget Hot Dish brought out here.
Who knows who we may have play out there next year!
