This is probably as good a place as any to make various people jealous
again.  I got to see Clannad on their first US tour, at the old Ark, the 
house on Hill Street.  This was 1979, when I still loved them.
We got to sit on the cushions on the floor, right under the band's
noses.  I had to move my legs out of the way every time Pol Brennan
wanted to put his upright bass down.

Mickey mentioned a band called Cuig to me today.  They're playing the 
Ark at the end of March; they have five full-length medium-fi MP3 
songs and tunes at their website at http://www.cuig.co.uk which 
I found pretty enjoyable.  They're a young band and so this is a cheap
show at the Ark: just $12, IIRC.   They have a somewhat pop-influenced
rhythm section with mostly traditional melody instruments.
 
(At least, if you consider the Chieftains traditional...  :)   )
