News from Sherry Ladig

Hi everyone,
Sherry Ladig and I are meeting for coffee soon to talk about Irish music and her suggestions for our BYNRIE tune list. She asked that I share the following information about her upcoming events. Be sure to save the date of February 1st when her band Dunquin will play their annual Scottish Island Concert!

January 19th  , 6-8 pm Dunquin plays a food shelf fundraiser at Tillie's Café, corner of Cleveland/Marshall Aves. in Saint Paul. All tips go to the local Keystone Community shelves. Eat well, hear great music, do good for your community! We'll play our favorite Irish and Scottish tunes. No cover charge.

January 25th 6-9 pm Burns Night Scotch Tasting at the Historic LeDuc House; 1629 Vermillion Street (Highway 61) in Hastings. Hear Scottish music, poems by Robert Burns, and taste excellent scotch and food pairings. Reservations required; call 651-438-8480.

January 26th Dalwhinnie (that's Dunquin with a Scottish accent) plays for dancing and listening at the evening Burns Night celebration at the Lost Spur Country Club (see details elsewhere in this bulletin for tickets and reservation information). Lots of Scottish entertainment, dinner and a celebration of all things Burns! Sponsored by the Minnesota Scottish Fair and Highland Games folks.
