Here’s the lineup for the winter season at Iona. Last month we had a great night with the BBC filming the session for ‘Burns in America’. In December we’re delighted to have the acclaimed Gaelic singer, Christine Primrose with us on Monday Dec 12 for ‘Song Night’ also featuring our own Pamela Jean Agaloos,and then again on Sunday Dec 18th when the BBC will be in once again to record Christine and the session for a documentary about her life and work.
Amy Beshara leads tonight Nov 14, fresh from her travels with Burning Bridget Cleary.  Fiddler Liz Hanley leads Nov 21, if you haven’t seen her band Frogbelly and Symphony check them out live this week at the 11th St Bar on November 16th. Accordionist John Redmond will celebrate the release of his new CD, ‘Box Sets’ on Nov 28. Dec 5th it’s Kevin Crawford, flute man with Lunasa in to blow the lids off any remaining smokestacks.
Hope you can join us tonight, or any Monday night  for an evening of warm companionship and tunes.
