Search - Norman & Nancy Blake, Boys of the Lough, James and Rachel Bryant :: Rising Fawn Gathering

Today I look back to October, a year ago, and a session Nancy and I had the pleasure of hosting in our home, here in Rising Fawn, GA with the Boys of the Lough and our long time friend, James Bryan and his daughter Rachel. We first met the Boys years ago in Canada at one of the major folk festivals. We were impressed with the parallels in our music and theirs. We quickly became friends and in 1984 played at Harvard University on a double bill with them. Nancy has wanted to do a session with them ever since. A once in a lifetime experience!
