I know - I would so love to go myself but I already have commitments that night.

I'm looking forward to it. I saw that they were playing here and decided to get a ticket. I'm going kilted and black tie with my Brian Boru jacket.

I figure that there will be a time when I won't get a chance to see them live, so I'm taking the opportunity while I can.

Have you seen the ticket prices?

[M_Beorn]

Frank, go to the Kennedy Center website for tickets or call them. I looked on line and saw that some sites were double or triple what the center is charging for the same ticket.

Tickets: $35.00 - $65.00

Not bad considering the event and location. I paid $75 to see TSO at the Verizon Center at Christmas.

Excellent! I'm glad you're going. Unfortunately, I can't go.

I'll post others who are going so you all can perhaps meet up...

I heard about this on NPR.
Unfortunately, I'm saving all my pennies (and dollars) for my trip Home this summer

Not that it's relevant, but for some reason I read the thread title as The Chieftains Vs Coast Guard Pipe Band...

That would be an interesting sight.

The concert was great. I ran into a couple of fellow Xmarkers and they looked dandy. There was a few of us that were kilted (besides the pipe band) and the ambassador of Ireland was in attendance as well. It was the first time I've been at the Kennedy Center and was impressed with the acoustics. I was at the very back in the box seats and felt like I was on stage listening to them play.

I had an interesting time at the pub later that evening. A drunk wanted to know if I rode horses. ( I was wearing my Brian Boru, Black Tie, and Irelands National). Go figure. A bunch of guys were having a birthday party in the back of the pub saw me and gave me a thumbs up. One of them (the birthday guy?) was a national rugby player I think.
