Celtic Night Out - Music & Fun!

Join us for a fun Celtic Night Out with bagpipe performance by the Black Hawk Pipes and Drums, haggis and heavy appetizers for dinner, and two rollicking sets by Eastern Iowa's famed Blame Not the Bard band. We're also setting aside a small dance floor, just in case the spirit moves you! And in the spirit of a true Celidh, let us know if you want to share a song or a story in between sets!

Advance RSVP cost is $30. For children 12 and younger, it's $10.

Though they started as an Irish band, Blame Not the Bard has also learned some Scots' tunes after 2 years of playing for us! They have shared festival line-ups with the likes of Gaelic Storm, Scythian, Talisk, Aoife Scott, The Dublin City Ramblers, The Elders, The Red Hot Chili Pipers, Jig Jam, and the High Kings.

In August of 2023, Blame Not the Bard released their sophomore album "Now and Again," which features their current lineup of Andrew Philbrick, Corey Baker, Nicole Philbrick, along with their newest member, Dan Vaughn.
