The venerable birthplace of Celtic Grove Radio - The 54th Annual Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and Gathering of Scottish Clans kicks off Thursday July 9. The Grandfather Games are considered America's grandest Games. Events that day will include opening ceremonies, a piping concert, sheep herding exhibition, the running of "The Bear". Many people choose to bring a picnic dinner or buy concessions at the Meadows to enjoy during the evening events.

 

Among the performers at this year’s Celtic Jam and Celtic Rock Concert is a percussion group named Albannach who delivers a heart-pounding tribal rhythm that makes people get up and dance. Other Celtic groups include The Killdares, Mother Grove, Barleyjuice, Coyote Run, Teribus, Clandestine and Scythian. A variety of these musicians will also be performing in the Celtic Groves each day.

 

More traditional Appalachian and Celtic folk musicians will be appearing at the Games. The playlist includes Alex Beaton, Ed Miller, Jim Malcolm, Colin Grant Adams, Blessed Blend, R.G. Absher & Celtic Connection and George Hamilton IV.

Adult tickets are $15 Thursday, $20 Friday, $30 Saturday and $15 Sunday and cover all activities in the meadows, which on Friday and Saturday last from early morning to midnight. Tickets are $5 dollars each day for children ages 5-12 with children under five free. Tickets are available at the field on the day of the event.

 

Parking is available on site at the Games field Thursday and Friday on a first-come, first-serve basis with overflow parking at shuttle lots in Linville, but public parking is not available at the field on Saturday and Sunday. Shuttle service is provided between MacRae Meadows and satellite parking areas in Linville, Newland and Boone. Shuttle fees vary depending on the distance between the lots and MacRae Meadows.

Tickets to the off-mountain evening events vary by event. For more information call 828-733-1333 or visit online at www.gmhg.org.

Celtic Flare at the 17th Annual Valhalla Ren Faire PDF Print E-mail
Written by Ron Crowe   
Friday, 29 May 2009 18:52

The opening weekend of the Valhalla Faire will feature "the Scottish Invasion" in the form of musical group Tartanic, followed by all-instrumental quartet Nine-8ths Irish.

 

Tartanic’s Web site describes the sound as “Celtic music from Scotland, Brittany and original contemporary compositions melded with rhythms from around the world and propelled into the musical world of the future. (It mixes) the time-honored traditions of the Great Highland bagpipes with a bevy of drums featuring world percussion from Arabia, Africa and America.

 

Nine-8ths Irish describes its style of music as “Irish and a wee bit more,” the wee bit coming from the bluegrass, old-time country music and jazz the band members had played before coming together to pursue their shared love of traditional Irish music.

 

The Faire will run May 30th and 31st and the following weekend, June 6th and 7th.
