DANCE NOTES ~ Edie O’Donnell
Lots of happy dancers attended the GWCC Ceili at
Cherry Hill Park on February 24th
.
The workshop dance was the Newport Set, taught
by Dick de Freyre. This set really makes you think in
the first two figures, and ends with a speedy but
simple social figure. The second figure is quite
complicated, but five sets looked good when it was
time to dance it! The music from Rambling House
was awesome, with Tina Eck, Joe DeZarn, Marc
Glickman and Patrick Cavanagh giving us an aerobic
workout for sure!
The first set of dances included the Clare Plain
Set, the Newport Set and the Haymakers Jig. The pot
luck dinner was as bountiful as ever...too many
choices for one plate to hold! There was a near
catastrophe on the dessert table, however, no Berger
cookies! Bob Epstein had helpfully posted a
newspaper article about the recent closing (they
subsequently reopened last week), and Arnold Simon
did his best with a really fine homemade chocolate
Bundt cake, but it just wasn’t the same!
The second set of dances found us doing the
Rosscahill Set, a frenetic 16-hand Reel, the
Ballyvourney Jig Set and the Caledonian Set. During
the second break, Jill Norvell won the 50/50 drawing,
which was drawn by Katherine Harper. Hmmm…
didn’t she win last month? Some folks are born
lucky! We ended the evening with the West Kerry
Set, a waltz, and the Mazurka Set.
Mark your calendars for our March ceili on
Sunday, March 17th
. Don’t miss Danny Flynn and the
Pond Scum Band, back by popular demand for our St.
Patrick’s Day ceili! The workshop dance will be the
Fermanagh Set.

Robin Bullock in Concert Monday, March 18, 2013, 7:30 pm
IMT Rockville: Saint Mark Presbyterian Church
10701 Old Georgetown Road, Rockville, MD
Hailed as a "Celtic guitar god" by Baltimore City
Paper, Robin Bullock is a prolific composer and
virtuoso multi-instrumentalist interpreting the ancient
melodies of the Celtic lands
and their vigorous
Appalachian descendants on
acoustic guitar, cittern and
mandolin. The 17th-century
harp tunes of legendary
Photo ~ Irene Young Irish bard Turlough
O'Carolan, the spirited jigs and reels of rural Ireland,
the haunting ballads of southern Appalachia and
evocative original compositions all find a common
ground in Robin's music, where lightning-fast
fingerwork one moment is perfectly balanced with
tender, quiet intimacy the next. A warm, friendly
presence onstage, Robin effortlessly creates a magical
world for the audience with his instrumental
wizardry, taking them on a journey to the heart and
soul of Celtic and American traditions.
Originally rising to prominence as a founding
member of the innovative acoustic world-music trio
Helicon (winners of the Association for Independent
Music's prestigious INDIE Award for Best Seasonal
Recording), Robin's solo career has won him multiple
Washington Area Music Association WAMMIE
Awards, a Governor's Award from the Maryland
State Arts Council, and a feature broadcast on
National Public Radio's hugely popular Celtic music
program "The Thistle and Shamrock." His recorded
work includes eight critically acclaimed solo CDs and
numerous collaborations, including Celtic Guitar
Summit with California fingerstylist Steve
Baughman, which was honored by Acoustic Guitar
Magazine with an "Editor's Pick" as one of the top
CDs of 2003.
Born in 1964 in Washington, DC, a major focal
point for both bluegrass and Irish music, Robin began
playing guitar at age seven, initially inspired by Doc
and Merle Watson, Norman Blake and John Fahey.
Robin's apprenticeship years were spent at fiddlers'
conventions, bluegrass festivals and Irish seisuns,
mastering the subtleties of a half-dozen instruments in
both American and Celtic styles. Today, Robin is
recognized as one of the few musicians who can so
successfully blend the ancient airs and dance tunes of
the Celtic lands with the roots music traditions of the
"New World," winning praise from publications as
diverse as Classical Guitar ("A musician whose
technical skill and stylistic expertise are second to
none"), Folk Roots ("Celtic flatpicking hero...a
spectacular display of virtuosity and musicianship") and
Bluegrass Unlimited ("Brilliant...inventive
interpretations filled with grace and charm and warmth
and insight").
In 2000, Robin relocated to France, and now lives in
the tiny village of Tripleval, on the River Seine
northwest of Paris. He continues to tour and record on
both sides of the Atlantic, solo, in duos with guitarist
Steve Baughman and flute player Michel Sikiotakis,
and as touring sideman with American folk legend Tom
Paxton. In solo concert, he shares his remarkable gifts
on guitar, cittern, mandolin and piano, combining
Celtic and American ballads, airs and dance tunes into
one magnificent vision.
