Come to the famous Roy Thomson Hall on June 20 for the Ireland Park Foundation Concert Benefit Gala.  Deirdre and the Celtic Tenors will be appearing and performing in a large commissioned work called the 'Famine Remembrance' written by fellow Irishman  Patrick Cassidy.  The work honors the sacrifices made by the 38,000 Irish Immigrants who traveled to Toronto during the famine in the summer of 1847. It tells the story of a destitute people overcoming unimaginable hardship and suffering, and speaks to the kindness and generosity of Canadians.

The headliner for the event is the wonderful Loreena McKennitt.

We are actually going to Ottawa for the CW concert on June 17!!! So we won't be too far away. Unfortunately, it won't be possible to make it to TO for the 12th.

We almost saw Deirdre and the CT when they were in Calgary and Red Deer earlier this year. But once again, the timing wasn't good: we were awaiting iminent word from "the stork" regarding our third grandchild (he was born safely April 7), so we were reluctant to commit to tickets that we might not be able to use. This was unfortunate, inasmuch as it is by far the closest that anyone even remotely connected to CW has come to Edmonton.
