Blackthorn Folly is a five piece traditionally inspired band performing in the Milwaukee area. We play traditional Celtic and American folk music with high energy and a ground stomping tempo.
Wow it felt good to get out and actually perform for people! We would like to sincerely thank the Cudahy Public Library for putting on such a fun event. Extra thanks to Frogwater for doing the amazing music you always do, and to the The Milwaukee Irish Dance Company for your excellent dancing and raising the energy to the next level!
Thank you especially to those of you in the audience. It’s always better performing for a live group instead of an iPad and you were all an awesome crowd!
Frogwater takes the stage in 30-minutes to be followed by Blackthorn. You can find us on the beautiful patio area behind the library. People appear to be keeping masked and distanced.
Good morning everybody. Looking to get out of the house and have some socially-distant entertainment? Come on down to the Cudahy Public Library tonight and enjoy some great music. The event starts at 5:30pm, Frogwater will be taking the stage at 6:00pm and Blackthorn Folly will be performing around 7:15. Food and beverages will be available from McBob's.
We know it's been tough to be cooped up in the house, so get out for a few minutes and enjoy something a little different. We hope to see y'all there. 😀
All of us in Blackthorn Folly would like to sincerely thank Celtic MKE and Milwaukee Irish Fest for turning the sadness that we all felt about the festival being cancelled this year, and creating something unique and wonderful! You all
Managed to lift the mood for all of us that dearly love Irish Fest in a time when we needed it most.
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! And we look forward to seeing you all in person next year!
Just in case y'all missed our part in the Celtic Power Hour of the Virtual Irish Fest, here's our video submission. This is our arrangement of Step it Out Mary by Sean McCarthy. Enjoy. 🙂
This was our submission for the Milwaukee Irish Fest Virtual Festival during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic. We want to thank Milwaukee Irish Fest for putting on...
15-minutes to the Celtic Power Hour. Tune in for some fabulous, recorded-live, music. 🙂 Blackthorn’s offering should be towards the end of the hour according to the schedule, but tune in right away as there are some fabulous musicians playing. 🙂
