A day in the life of a working musician.. the behind-the- scenes drama of presenting Irish fiddle shows, running a band, dealing with the endless characters in the music industry, and keeping the dream alive.

Designing a Celtic show - inspired by the West Indian Parade, New York City

I was inspired by the beautiful colors and designs in NYC's West Indian parade and looking to create some of that gorgeousness in my own show. First step is getting someone to design a Celtic jacket for me to wear on stage. I want the beautiful colors, the shiny fabric (except where the violin lands - shiny fabric makes it slide), and lots of glitter and glam. Purple is definitely my favorite color, but some Emerald Green could be thrown in too.....
...and then I have to try one of those new LED violins. The colors are beautiful!
