The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

This region is rich in Irish music and dance. Dancers have enjoyed Irish social dancing and listening to great live music and callers. What the region hasn't had was a dedicated céilí band — musicians organized to provide music for social dancing. In Ireland and worldwide, céilí bands represent their locality. Two Rivers Céilí Band represents the region with fiddles (Niamh Branigan, Mary Carey, Nancy Jarrell, Elizabeth O'Connor, Therese Vogel, Maria Los), flutes (Angie Cathey, Tamara Mautner), whistles (Emily Dineen, Brenda Scearcy), uilleann pipes (Tania Skinner), guitar (Nancy Conescu) and piano (Teresa Baker).

Live Irish music on the first Fridays of the month, October through May. All dances are taught and called as you enjoy the tunes of Ireland.

The purpose is to provide the best music through concerts, workshops, and sessions and dance through classes and ceilis and keep Irish Trad alive and well. "A workout for the body, mind, and smile."

*Céilí is the Gaelic word for an evening gathering of friends sharing and enjoying traditional Irish music, song, dance and fun.
No Experience or Partner is necessary.
