A Celtic Concert with SilverWood

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day early with “A Celtic Concert with SilverWood,” Friday, March 12, 2010 at 7:00 pm in the Winn Room of the Coronado Public Library.

The founders of SilverWood, Diane Wilson, flutist and guitarist Gary Tuttle, have invited special guest musicians for the concert. They include Carol McCollum, fiddler; Michael Ballard on bodhran (drum); and Michael Eskin who plays Uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes), the mandolin, and large and small whistles.

Playing a variety of Irish ballads along with lively jigs, reels, and other dance tunes, SilverWood will perform beloved and familiar melodies such as “Danny Boy” and “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling” and some not-so-well-known, including “Brenda Stubbert’s Reel,” “Sonny Brogan’s Jig,” and an ethereal air called “Crested Hen.”
