"Everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the
fabric of American life."
John F. Kennedy
The selection of this years performers was
guided by the theme Heirs of Erin. Reading the
biographies of each of the musicians you will follow a
common thread of 20th century Irish and Scottish immigrants
who have now established deep roots in the United States.
Each one of them carries on the traditions of their heritage
in their music, which in many cases has been handed down
through many generations.
