at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church on Route 15 in Jericho, VT on Saturday,
February 2, 2008 at 7:00 pm. Well-known local ensembles playing

The mid-winter
Ceilidh (pronounced "Kay-lee") is a traditional Celtic visit or evening
when dancing and music are enjoyed. Members of Good Shepherd with a
Celtic heritage were inspired to organize this lively evening of
energizing music to chase the winter blues and give families an
opportunity to spend an evening out together.
The lineup of
performers includes:
* Cape Breton
Fiddler Duncan Yandell - a young Williston resident and sensational
fiddler playing Celtic music from Cape Breton, accompanied by father,
David, on piano.
* Green Mt. Celts
- Terry & Joanne Ranney of Richmond play traditional music of Scotland
on large pipes, small pipes and frame drums.
*Atlantic
Crossing - a four-person band of musicians and singers performing
traditional (New England, Canada and British Isles) music as well as
original material with a range of instruments from fiddle and guitar to
tenor banjo, mandolin and low whistle.
The church is
located across from Clark's Truck Center on Route 15 near the junction
with Brown's Trace Road. Cider, tea, shortbread and scones will be
available to purchase by donation during intermission. The intimate
setting for the performance allows everyone to watch the musicians and
experience the music at close range or from front row seats.
