Kick off your
shoes and get ready for a festive weekend in August at the
annual Kansas City Irish Fest. Take a peek at
the Kansas City Irish Fest
website and you'll find some of the best Irish Bands
around scheduled to attend this exciting festival. On that
list you'll find one of my favorite bands,
Gaelic Storm who put on such great shows last year and
scheduled to return to Irish Fest. But you don't have to
wait those to catch another great set by Murphy, Twigger and
the band in Kansas City. Visit their website to check out
their upcoming performances
Gaelic Storm
performed at
The Beaumont Club, 4050 Pennsylvania in Westport during
previous Irish Fest. These all-ages shows kick off the St.
Patrick's Day around 8:00PM, and are titanic events! Ha! Get
it?? Titanic? Gaelic Storm played in that movie a few years
ago? No? Anyway, call 816-561-2560 for more details and I
will see you at this year's Irish Fest.
If you're a regular reader of
Tir na Blog, the daily voice of Irish Fest, you may know
that Irish Fest has been nominated once again as Kansas
City's Best Festival, an honor
it won last year. If you live outside the 5 county Kansas
City metro area (or will forward this to someone who does)
you can help with your vote.
