709.0. "Altan - not to be missed!!!" by PENUTS::KSULLIVAN () Mon Feb 05 1990 12:47

    Altan are playing at Payne Hall, in Harvard University, Cambridge,
    on Saturday Feb. 17th. Tickets are only $13.50. 
    
    Sandy's Music has tickets, at present I know of no other source, but
    you can send a check @ $13.50 per ticket, (no handling charges), made
    payable to "SOMMERVILLE PRODUCTIONS", inclose a stamped addressed 
    envelope and they will send you the tickets by return mail.
    
    Sandy's address: Sandy's Music.
                     896a Mass. Ave.,
                     Cambridge, 02139.
    
    This will be a great show, their last album was voted one of the top
    folk/traditional releases of the year. Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh
    (fiddle/vocals) and Frankie Kennedy (flute) are two of Ireland's
    finest young musicians. 
    
    If you want to hear Altan, before taking the plunge, Brian O'Donovan
    will be doing a special on the band this Friday night between 7-9pm,
    on Celtic Sojurn, WGBH 89.7FM.

709.1Exelent Show!!!PENUTS::KSULLIVANMon Feb 26 1990 13:094
    For the Rhode Island fans, Altan will be playing in Westerly, (not sure
    if spelling is correct), on March 15th. 
    
    
709.2is that R.I. fans or R.I. FAN?TOLKIN::OROURKEWed Feb 28 1990 13:0618
    
    Yes, it is spelled 'Westerly'
    
    Did you happen to hear where they are playing (i.e. what hall or
    theater?)
                                 
    Westerly is a town on the Southern coast near Conneticut.  My aunt
    and uncle live there.  The townsfolk deserve a break.  Some bozo
    gas station owner in Conn decided not to replace his gas tanks for the last
    15 years....while he decided how to remodel.
    
    Needless to say...they've started to leak in a big way.  The
    groundwater has been contaminated and Westerly has been in a water
    emergency for the last couple of weeks.
    
    God help us from this "make money, hell with the environment' attitude!

    I'm not sure what they said, is there a hall attached/associated with
    some church there?
