November has been a busy month for the us. We just finished executing what we hope will be the first of many Celtic events here on the Big Island. I have to say, the Celtic community here in Hawaii is the greatest. They are collectively the friendliest, most supportive group of people I’ve ever met. It’s an odd thing to be in the most remote place in the world and have such an enthusiastic group for such a niche. The Celtic Bash included performances by the Big Island chapter of Hawaii Irish Dance, our local band besties and rabble rousers, Celtic punk band: Craicealite’ Celtic, and of course, The Kilt Lifters. It was a notable performance for us, as it was our first live show with our mercenary rhythm section. I have to say that those guys (Michael Suprenant on drums, and Brian Crist on bass) are some of the finest players on the island. They are consummate pros, and there’s a reason they are so in demand. Craiceailite’ rocked the house with a fresh lineup. They really put on a great performance, and personally I loved their new lineup. The entire event was rounded out by Hawaii Irish Dance, who really made the event feel like an event. Here’s looking forward to the next one…
