This year the Leinie Rock Stage had some of the largest crowds I've ever seen. The Red Hot Chilli Pipers had massive crowds along with crowd favorites Screaming Orphans, and newcomers Skerryvore from Scotland.
I'm starting to see some of the videos posted from the festival this year and I kinda like this one since it's so professionally done. It's so good I was thinking of titling this post "Cinematography Before Ritalin".
This video was shot on Sunday afternoon and features just about everyone from the Skerryvore and the Orphans onstage with the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. It's obvious everyone was having a good time, and also provides the answer to the age old question about what Scots wear under their kilts.

"Savage Good Craic"
. . . . . .was the answer I got asking Aidan O'Donnell about his first trip to Milwaukee Irish Fest. The talented member of the Donegal group Fidil was like most others coming to Milwaukee for the first time, awestruck at the scope of our festival.
I was supposed to be providing a steady supply of updates throughout the weekend, but my idea of multitasking involves walking somewhere and actually knowing where I'm going. For those of you poor folk unable to make it this past weekend (don't ever do that again), I'll try to fill you in on the highlights over the next few weeks. There's really so much to cover it's hard to figure out where to start.
Musically we had a fantastic lineup; Altan, Skerryvore, the High Kings, Paul McKenna Band, Fiach, and many others. The Concert for Chuck Ward had special meaning for everyone there, and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers packed them in at the Rock Stage. And of course, Gaelic Storm jammed the Miller stage with their O'Loha show complete with beach balls and palm trees.
The Derry Donegal showcase was a huge hit featuring the music and culture of the northwest of Ireland. Musically from the region we had Fidil, the Screaming Orphans and their mom Kathleen Fitzgerald, Altan, returning favorites Kintra, the Different Drums of Ireland, Brendan Henry and talented Henry sisters. Liz Doherty, Tom Sweeney and the beautiful voice of Moya Brennan.
The Cultural Village was incredible - the Derry Donegal exhibit was amazing and the the return of the C.S. Lewis Exhibit was a great touch. Stopping in the theatre tent on Sunday afternoon I caught a part of Little John Nee's show and was sorry I didn't see the whole thing. Basil McCrae MLA made his second visit to Milwaukee and I'm quite sure if you didn't meet him it was because you didn't come to the festival.
The Children's area was non-stop activity throughout the weekend and Tommy "Tom-Tom" Regan had a steady stream of kids at his Shamrocker Tent. The new Cottage was a hit with the Jameson crowd and down on the south end, Brian Ward's restaurant ran out of Scotch Eggs on Sunday!
In the next few weeks I will share pictures, videos and stories of the most fantastic week of the summer.
Stay tuned.

Irish Fest Run Walk for Arthritis
Saturday morning beginning at 8:30, a lot of healthy looking folks (won't see me there) will gather just outside the north gate of Irish Fest for the annual Arthritis Foundation's "Run/Walk to Milwaukee Irish Fest"
This is a nice 5K walk or run along the beautiful Milwaukee Lakefront.
Proceeds from the race go directly to the Arthritis Foundation. You can register on the morning of the race. New this year, each racer will receive a timing chip ("Hey . . .how come mine looks like a calendar?) and maybe even a shirt. Of course you would've been guaranteed a shirt if you had registered before August 1st, but what the hey, come on down and do it for the cause.
Bring the kids as there will be a childrens area with coloring books, tattoos (no, silly not the REAL ones) and other activities
All participants get a free pass into Irish Fest (go home and shower first Thank You) and the chance for some prizes. Opening ceremonies begin at 10AM and the Run/Walk starts at 10:30. Afterwards, there are some post race activities.
Information can be found here

Going to the Picture Show
In an earlier post, I mentioned Irish Fest has a theater, the Volta where fest goers can see some great "talkies" about Ireland and its' people.
One of those shows is the documentary "Paradiso" by filmmaker Alessandro Negrini. "Paradiso" is the story of Roy Arbuckle trying to get his old showband The Signettes, back together, in the hopes their music will get both Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland back onto the dance floor and forget about the historical differences between the two groups. For those of us who know him, that's the quintessential Roy - bringing people together with music.
Roy Arbuckle, a resident of Derry, is an Irish Fest favorite as he has appeared numerous times at the festival with his group Different Drums of Ireland. The Peat Blogger ranks Roy high on the list of favorites especially after Roy let Wallet Drainer #3 sing "Biddy McDole" onstage when she was five a dozen years ago. I'm happy to report Different Drums will be appearing at the festival this year as part of the Derry Donegal Showcase.
"Paradiso" will be screened at 6:15 on Friday, 12:15 Saturday and 5:30 Sunday afternoon. Filmmaker Negrini will be on hand for the screening to talk with festival patrons, and Roy Arbuckle is also scheduled to make some comments at one of the sessions.
In addition to "Paradiso", the Volta will be featuring other Irish films such as; "Dance Lexi Dance", "Agnes Jones", "Dancing at Lughnasa", "Francie Mooney", "Proud", and "Shine of Rainbows"
The Volta Theatre in the Cultural Village - reason # 11,798 to come to Irish Fest this weekend.

Summer School Sessions
Well - we've officially started. The Irish Fest Summer School opened this morning and already you can feel the excitement (maybe it's the beer . . . .)
Just an FYI - if you still want to participate we will continue to take walk-ins at the Summer School registration table at MSOE 1025 N Broadway in the Student Life and Campus Center. Check the Summer School brochure to see of there is something you want to sink your claws into this week.
If you're too kool for skool, then you at least owe it to yourself to stop by one of the evening sessions for a beer and some great tunes. Tonight the masses will be assembling at John Hawks Pub located on the lower level of the 100 East building on Wisconsin Avenue. Tuesday night you can find everyone at Brocach and Wednesday back at John Hawks. Wednesday night there's a Jameson Whiskey Tasting at Hawks so you might want to stop in for that. Tickets are $15 - cheap if you ask me.
Classes go until 8 or 9 (I forgot what Jane Walrath told me) so play it safe and get there early (a rule I live by when it comes to pubs), grab a beer and wait for the fun to start.

Set Up Saturday
Set up Saturday.
Meeting at the office yesterday morning, a dedicated group of volunteers took the first big step of Irish Fest 2011 - Loading the trucks with all the collected items needed on the grounds. Three big (and empty) rental trucks pulled into the back of the Irish Fest Center yesterday morning at 8 AM to begin the annual trip to the Summerfest Grounds.
In short order, the back hallway and the downstairs tables were cleared of flags, sign, tables, chairs and office equipment all marked with pink tags saying, "Take to the Grounds" All three trucks were quickly filled and headed off to the lakefront.
Unloading on the grounds, everything was quickly dispersed to the needed locations and the six day sprint for the festival began.
In the office John Maher had customized his surrounding as he does each year; flypaper strips were up (I don't know where the flies come from but they do each year), the coffee pot was going and a half-empty box of donuts from the National Bakery sat on the counter. Tom Kennedy and his nephew Sean Ward unloaded the first batch of over 150 two way radios used by the festival.
Over in the bank, Mike Dahm and Tom Barrett (not the mayor) were getting ready for their week, and the Cultural Village was a beehive of activity.
Morning rain showers (better this Saturday than next) moved the traditional lunch barbeque under cover at the Tipp stage. It worked so well it might become a permanent change.
Our three new Festival Experience Interns, Keith, Hazel and Kathy, were up at the retail area sorting inventory and folding Irish Fest shirts.
Of course you moght be asking at this point, "Where was the Peat Blogger, and what was he doing?". The simple answer is - nothing. I realize we only have a few days to go and anything I might do would probably put us a couple of days behind . . .immediately. The best thing I can do is stay out of everyone's way.
Set up Saturday - see you here in a few days.

Turn Your Radio On
Can't believe it. One week from tonight it starts. Woo Woo! Can't wait.
As part of our promotion of the festival one of our media partners, public radio WUWM 89.7 FM/ HD-1 (listen here - please!) has been a strong supporter of the festival. Next week WUWM will be doing a number of interviews with groups performing at the festival.
Lake Effect with Mitch Teich and Bonnie North airs each weekday from 10-11AM and weekends from 2-4PM. It's a locally produced magazine program that gives an in depth view of the stories behind the headlines in Wisconsin.
As part of the "Irish Invasion" this week, Lake Effect will be featuring
The Brendan Hendry Band, Qristina and Quinn Bachand, Moya Brennan, The Paul Matthews Band, David Kincaid and Skerryvore. It's sure to give you some insight into the groups appearing at Irish Fest this year. Turn your radio on each day this coming week to listen in on Lake Effect and get the latest.
Next Thursday . . . . one week. . . . Seven days from now . . . .
It's time to get your Paddy on.

Nice Doggie!
Year in and year out, one of the most popular places to go at the festival is the Celtic Canines area. Here, festgoers can see some of the more than 50 different breeds (according to Julie Smith) of canines found in Ireland.
Like the rare "Tuber Terrier" known for it's uncanny ability to sniff out ripened russets, or maybe the "Swaybacked Stout Retriever" a rare breed known to be able to open a refrigerator and fetch a pint of your best creamy beverage. My favorite is the "Wheaten Whiskey Setter" able to locate the good stuff your brother in law has been hiding from you.
In addition to these breeds, you can also see some of the more popular varieties, like the Wolfhounds, Setters and Terriers found about the Emerald Isle. There will also be demonstrations like "Teaching Your Dog to Sit in Irish"
and "Obedience - If the Kids Don't, Why Should the Dog?".
In reality, the Celtic Canines area of the festival is a remarkable place with a lot of people willing to share with you their love of the 9 breeds of Irish canines. Stop by to learn more about these beautiful breeds. Bring the kids along too. It's a great show at a great festival.
Celtic Canines - reason # 23,211 to come to Irish Fest in 11 days.
Just leave the Schnauzers and Dachshunds at home . . . . . .

Hair On Fire
Things are starting to get interesting . . . .
At last Tuesday night's General Meeting, I sat in the back of the room and surveyed the assembled masses. Even with my exceptionally poor math skills I was able to count about 125 people in attendance (not including the two newborns attending their first meeting - Hey, we start 'em young!) You can usually find another half-dozen or so that hang out in the bar area keeping Ed Mikush company and working on their inventory depletion techniques.
So at these Summer meetings there are a lot of people involved as you can see in the picture below.
You can tell how close you are to the festival when you look at the agendas and see we are receiving about 20 committee or area reports each meeting. Last Tuesday for example we heard reports from: Currachs, Grounds Office, North Hospitality, Tours, Special Services, Slainte 2011 (go Bridgie!), Courtesy Patrol, Paddy's Place, Leprechaun Village, Guest Relations, Tug of War, Bank, Retail, Cultural, and Entertainment. Throw in Transportation, Grounds Set Up (they need your help!) and the Summer School and you got the fixin's for a real meetin'
The meetings have a real buzz about them as everyone scrambles to get their last minute details nailed down. It's not panic mode yet but there certainly is a sense of urgency as people gather in little groups after the meeting and get the real work of the festival done.
Volunteers - we couldn't do it without them.
Thanks Everyone!

Mob Scene
Last night there were TWO mobs in Milwaukee. A really cool Irish Fest event that happened at the Alterra Coffee Shop on the lakefront, and unfortunately, a knucklehead mob that happened outside of State Fair.
In case you weren't at the Alterra event last night, this is what it looked like.
This is just one of several "Irish Surprises" (might be a better name than "mob") happening around town in the past few weeks to promote the best family event of the summer.
Holy Cow! It's only 13 days from now.

Slainte 2011
A few years ago we looked around and said "Hey we're all getting really old, we need more young people here" (or something like that).
From this brilliant revelation came the idea of Slainte! Originally, we wanted to call it "Who's Your Paddy?", but some non-irish lawyer pointed out to us a few trademark infringement issues. Oh well. From there it moved to "Where's Your Paddy?" and finally mercifully onto the new Slainte.
Slainte is a chance for the young to escape from the old. It's a Thursday night young professionals Happy Hour.
Run by the effervescent Bridget Ward (she's practically my niece you know), this event is open to any young professional (or YP's as we call them)coming to Irish Fest on Thursday night. (For YP's, Thursday night is ALMOST Friday night so why are you at home?)
YP's between the age of 21-35 can gather at the Crossroads area on Thursday night from 6:30-8:30. Entrance to the event is free with an invitation (get yours right here) and if you have a smartphone (show me a YP that doesn't!) you can download the invite right to your phone with it's own little QR code and get into the event. Voila!
Right now all the OP's are asking "What the Hell is a QR code?" which is exactly why old professionals aren't invited.
Each YP will get a couple of free beers compliments of our friends at MillerCoors. as well as some great door prizes and games of bag toss while listening to the Celtic rock band Reilly.
It's a great place for YP's to get together on the grounds, and not have to hear the following phrases: New hip, knee replacement, PSA number and colonoscopy.
Slainte 2011 - reason #3,921 to come to Irish Fest on Thursday night.
I'll be on the other side of the fence looking in . . . . . .
