WSF Live 2007 Ireland Tour

Buy this CD.

Enjoy the spirit and energy of The Walker Street Fiddlers captured in our live recording of the tunes we performed on our 2007 tour of the Emerald Isle!

Our 10-day performance tour included many opportunities for our students to perform in a variety of venues, hear some amazing music, see some awesome dancing, and form some lasting friendships with people along the way!

The country was breathtaking and the people were warm and generous. The experiences we shared enriched our understanding of the culture and history of Ireland. Traveling together, we not only explored new geographic territory, but also expanded our relationship with music. We grew as individuals and as a group as we lived together in hostels, overcame difficulties….lost luggage!!….tight spaces!!….and shared our thoughts, humor, supplies, and our children!  Mom and Dad are universal!!

We hope that you will find some of the energy and love recorded on the CD along with the music! Thanks to EVERYONE of you who helped us make our trip so wonderful!!!!
