Under surveillance

Posted in Photos at 8:23 pm by turlach

Despite our bashful attempts to hide in plain view, we were documented by several photographers during our Spinach Festival performances this past weekend. We got permission to show them to you from Colleen Udell of Lenexa Photography and from Katherine Boylan of Big Plain Imaging. Colleen has a whole gallery of pictures from the festival, with much more variety than Beauty and the Beasts.

Take me home from the ballpark….

Posted in Performances, Photos at 4:53 pm by turlach

We want to thank Bear Goodell and the T-Bones for having us out to the ballpark last night to play. It was a lot of fun. Kelly, Dave and Turlach played on the concourse for 30 minutes before the game beside the booth for the Irish Museum and Cultural Center. Their table was manned by tinwhistle player Sean Kane and his parents, Elizabeth and Tom. Their family hosts ballplayers for the team and it was through them that we got the opportunity to perform. We’d barely tuned up when we spotted our friends Elizabeth Neal and Harold Scott of the Jennifer Ireland foundation walking past. It felt just like home, except with more cotton candy.

After the game started, we popped up onto the dugout for a quick couple of tunes in the middle of the first and second innings. The night contained a lot of firsts for me. First time at a minor league game, first gig at a stadium, first appearance on the big screen, first gig at a sporting event, first time performing before so many people. The T-Bones organization was great, taking lots of opportunities to mention the band, the museum and the music school throughout the evening. It was a privilege for us to be there.

The proof is in the photos, courtesy of Turlach’s wife, photographer Katherine Boylan.
