Sam and Anne do a phenomenal job of supporting Irish culture here in Portland. Not only have they taught us Irish dancing as a family, they have been some of out biggest fans and Sam has happily volunteered to call group dances at both of our CD Release Concerts. But our group is only one small piece of all they do to encourage Celtic music. S&A Irish Entertainment regularly brings famous Celtic musicians to Portland to share their talents with us. Without Sam and Anne, many of these musicians would pass Portland by.
If you enjoy Celtic music, I would highly recommend checking out Sam's concert line-up. We have been to several and thoroughly enjoyed them. This Saturday, Sam is presenting a concertina player from Ireland. Noel Hill is reportedly the defining Irish concertina player of our time. And as he plays only instrumentals, I expect this to be a family friendly concert. If you can't make this concert, get on Sam's email list and try another one. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Let's remedy the small turnouts of previous concerts and show these musicians how much Portland appreciates good music!

I appreciate good music!!! I don't live in Portland though... (Thank goodness!) :).
I wonder if we can elect Noel Hill as the president of the Oregon Symphony or something :).
Just a random question, is Noel Hill from Ireland or Northern Ireland? My brother is in Northern Ireland right now, and I just wanted to know where all the good music is :).
